Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is evidence to suggest that survivors among racial and ethnic minorities and other underserved populations have more post-treatment symptoms and poorer treatment outcomes than Caucasians (CDC,2004).The disparities in health among ethnic groups are related to a complex interplay of economic,social,and cultural factors,with poverty being a key factor.The Asian dishwasher is both a member of a racial minority and likely the poorest paid of the survivors.
While being a member of an ethnic group is a risk factor,a Hispanic truck driver is not likely to be the poorest of the survivors.
The Caucasian factory worker has the least risk because he is not a member of an ethnic or racial minority nor is there a likelihood of him being the poorest of the survivors.
While being a member of a racial minority is a risk factor,an African-American carpenter is not likely to be the poorest of the survivors.
