Part 1: Presentation

Develop a 10-15 slide presentation, using PowerPoint or Prezi that includes the following information:

1. Analyze the health care 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).

2. Compare the health status of the minority group you have selected to the national average. What is the current health status of this minority group? What health disparities exist for this group?

3. You will find important health information regarding minority groups by exploring the following resources: "Minority Health" and "Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations," both of which are located on the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
