Analyze the health status of a specific minority group

Analyze the health status of a specific minority group. Select a  minority group that is represented in the United States (examples  include American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black or  African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander).
In an essay of 750-1,000 words, compare and contrast the health  status of the minority group you have selected to the national  average. Consider the cultural, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical  barriers to health. How do race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and  education influence health for the minority group you have  selected? Address the following in your essay:

  1. What is the current health status of this minority group?
  2. How is health promotion defined by this group?
  3. What    health disparities exist for this group?
  4. Describe at least    one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention    (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most    effective given the unique needs of the minority group you have    selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most    effective choice.

Cite a minimum of three references in the paper.
