Answer 1

Health disparities are otherwise called health inequalities that occur in the field of health care that can occur on the basis of access to health care across different, race, ethnic and socio-economic group.

Health disparities can be seen as population-specific differences in the presence of disease, health outcomes, or access to health care.

Health disparities are a well-known problem among ethnic minorities.

Cultural tailoring is very important in the health care field where there is a development of interventions, training practices and materials to conform to special characteristics.

* Although culture is a group, individuals within that group may vary due to:

*Individual perceptions of their own culture

*someone identifies with their culture

*specific cultural values important to them

Cultural tailoring is very important in the health care field to avoid health disparities .and all will have to avoid the health disparities among the individual or group

To better access health care to all, we should avoid all the discrepancies towards the population.

the population.

*The health care to the minority are still challenging and competitive where the health disparities are still going own.

Here the case is an Uninsured-ED and he/she needs to access the care . in the waiting room To better meet health care needs in the waiting room where we can apply the improved cultural behavior (Cultural tailoring) where all patients are considered equally instead of their status as insured or non-insured we have to meet the demands or needs of the patient for a better outcome.

*Serving the community:

# Office of Minority Health in Oklahoma, where the number of Native Americans is quite high. Kansa also belongs to this region

The Office of Minority Health works with local and national minority health care initiatives through collaboration with local community organizations and with the federal government on a variety of services including the organization of task forces, the provision of technical support to communities, cultural competency and diversity training and violence prevention.

#Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

They focus on the recipient, and they used their grant to establish an Office of Minority Health

#Secretary of health and environment

It has a staff member designated as Minority Liaison, the lack of an office of minority health in Kansa testifies to the absence of a statewide action agenda that would focus attention in this area

*Privilege:

# The cultural tailoring influences how we understand and value health

# The cultural tailoring Influences how health services are delivered and received

Thus in this way:

a. Identify the cultures and subcultures in the population

b. Recognize how culture relates to health behavior

c. Apply knowledge to planning

As a health care professional when dealing with the patient from different cultures we have to hold and respect their own cultural values and beliefs.

These are the values they learned and shared and is transmitted generationally
