African American Communities
M7A1 FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION
In Module 1, you selected your topic for your final paper. In this module, you will submit your final paper. The focus of your paper will be a marginalized special population that exists within your local community. This may be a community where you live, work, or are otherwise familiar. For example, depending on the community, you might choose a special population that faces prejudice and discrimination due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, spiritual beliefs, race or ethnicity, disabilities, or their perceived social class or socioeconomic status.
You will submit a 5-7 double spaced research paper describing a marginalized population that lives in your selected community. Your final research paper has three distinct parts. Please make sure you address all three parts of this assignment.
Your research paper should include the following:
- Describe the community you are focusing on.
- What are the demographics of the people who live there?
- Are there any important cultural, economic, geographic, or other distinguishing traits that may impact health services?
- What types of health services and social services are available? If you live in a very small community, expand the boundaries of the community to include the hospitals, health providers, etc. used by the people in this area.
