Question

1. Why do you think Native Americans are considered part of the vulnerable populations?

2. Do a little research and tell me how many free clinics you find in the Northern Virginia area.

Answer 1

1, Native Americans are more particular with their tradition and culture..Native Americans mostly suffer with me mental and physical health problem and substance abuse due to social marginalization and poverty..poor nutrition,obesity,chronic health problem is unique and followed history in tribal lands..this tribal community so much vulnerable for substance use disorder..Lack of education,health disparities and unhealthy life style made them more vulnerable for illness..there was issues for accessing care like underfunded health program and discrimination..there was more medical mistrust and dissatisfaction among native Americans which is related to health disparity..there was more mistrust by native Americans which reduce the knowledge towards health condition..there was strong social,spiritual and family belief than medical care..
2, virginia's health safety net support free clinic for free treatment for low-income,uninsured virginians with low cost service..there are 66 virginia Association of free and charitable clinics..It has free clinic more than one location with in the community..
