Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Triple jeopardy refers to individuals who belong to more than one marginalized group, such as being female, ethnic-minority, and elderly. This intersectionality of identities can lead to compounded discrimination and challenges. While living in poverty and being eligible for social security disability can also contribute to challenges, they do not fit the definition of triple jeopardy. An elderly individual at high risk for suicide is a separate issue related to mental health and wellbeing.
