Preparing the Assignment
Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the assignment. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.
General Instructions
Identify one vulnerable population within a selected community. Explore current literature and related data to better understand the variables that place this population at risk for health concerns and health disparities. Analyze national health directives, such as Healthy People 2030 or another national initiative, to determine the correlation to the vulnerable population’s needs/risks/disparities.
Create a concept map, either neatly drawn by hand or using Microsoft Word, that portrays each element and its relationships.
