Health care disparities among racial and ethnic groups are well recognized as a serious problem confronting many health care system in societies with fairly large and diverse ethno-cultural populations such as in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. These disparities emerge from complex set of factors, including health systems, health care providers, patients, and utilization managers may contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in health care.The term “health care disparities” normally
African Americans experience multiple health disparities caused by varying social determinants and economic situations. Social determinants have the ability to impact a variety of health behaviors and health outcomes. The CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, defines social determinants as “conditions of the places where people live, learn, work, and play affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes.”(CDC 2013) Although African Americans are often overlooked, they have the highest
The Increasing Health Disparities in the African American Population Abstract The purpose of this research paper is to discuss the problem of the increasing health disparities in African American communities.

Thus, different biomedicine may rely on different practices and may have different organization. “Health disparities” is defined as the disproportionate or excess morbidity, mortality and decreased life expectancy and the unequal health care access among disadvantaged populations (Singer & Baer, pg.176).

The Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory can be applied to help patients be more independent and prepare to be released from the health care facility where they are being cared for (Petiprin, 2016).

Health inequalities/disparities as said by Margaret Whitehead (1990, 106.107) that “health differences are not only unnecessary and avoidable but, in addition, are considered unfair and unjust”1. The complicated and overlapping structures in the society and economy are responsible for most of the health inequalities. These systems include the physical and social environment, health system and various societal elements. Among these, Social Determinants of Health (SDH) are identified to be the main
