2. Respond to the following prompt:
Sultz and Young (2018) discuss several emerging domestic public health issues on pages 334-338. Dr. Jones names racism as a social determinant of equity, which helps to explain why we see health disparities. While Sultz and Young do not mention racism, racism may be influencing the public health issues they discuss.
Pick one of the domestic public issues on pages 334-338 and discuss how racism may be impacting that specific issue. Use what you learn from the video and outside research to support your claims. For example, what does the health issue look like when broken up by ethnicity? Outside research should come from a reputable source like a government or NGO website (i.e., “.gov” or “.org”). No newspaper articles or “.com” websites.
