Health Disparities
As I carried out the capstone literature research, I unearthed diverse range of
healthcare disparities in the U.S healthcare system. According to studies by Bergmark &
Sedaghat (2017) and Cash-Gibson, Rojas-Gualdrón, Pericàs & Benach (2018), I learned

REFLECTIVE JOURNAL 20
that the leading health disparities in the U.S entails healthcare conditions such as Asthma,
mental health, infant mortality, diabetes, cancer and hypertension. Such disparities have
been found to be more common among specific ethnic demographics such as African
Americans, Asians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaii, Latinos and Hispanics and Mexicans.
Pollack Porter, Lindberg & McInnis-Simoncelli (2019) posits that health disparity
demographics entails the ethnic minorities, under privileged individuals in terms of socio-
economic frameworks, under privileged individuals in rural settings. Trinh, Agénor,
Austin & Jackson (2017) posits that key mechanisms that are contributing to health
disparities entails personal behaviors, beliefs, lifestyles and unique stress response
mechanism. Such aspects entail adverse situations, incidents of food insecurity, racism
and the progress of immigration. Biological processes that have been identified as
participants in health disparities entail cases of gene variants, disparities in patient
metabolism, patients with genetic susceptibility, individuals with early onset of genetic
chronic conditions or those with rapid progression or higher genetic condition severity.
Aspects of physical and cultural immediate environment were profiled as part of the
contributing factors to health disparities. Such aspects are categorized into place, patient
network, social interactions and the levels of community cohesion.
The core objective of Healthy People 2020, according to Wasserman et al. (2019)
is to eradicate the health based disparities since evidence exists to prove that differences
by socioeconomic status, race alongside other social aspects are wide and progressive in
the U.S., South America, the U.K and Australia. For instance, studies by Xin (2017)
highlight that rate of depression and suicide cases has tripled among adolescents in the
last three decades. As such, San Diego suicide data records demonstrate a higher suicide

counts compared to the national data in the last 12 months. Xin (2017) argues that
homosexual and lesbian adolescents have a double to triple likelihood of attempting
suicide as compared to their straight peers.
