65.7% of African American participants have been screened while 18.2% have never heard of or never thought about screening and
3.0% of African Americans are not decided. There are benefits to screenings but there are also risks to having screenings done when they are not needed. The conclusions are appropriate for the study.

    Family history is used to assess the familial transmission of inherited conditions through the process of interviewing patients about their own and their blood relatives’ medical histories. It is most useful to have a minimum of three generations (Wattendorf & Hadley, 2005), so this information ideally covers the grandparents of the patient (consultand) and any children or grandchildren. The family history interview also gives access to psychosocial issues, such as discord within the family, which may need to be addressed at some point, particularly in terms of sharing genetic risk information or genetic test results. The family history is a cheap, quick and efficient way of collecting medical data in which large numbers of individuals from a family can be screened and the information they contain provides the foundation upon which genetic testing occurs, and may help in the diagnosis of a…

    Disparities in Health Care

    Thanks to medical advances and advanced preventative care, Americans are living longer and healthier than ever. However, these benefits don 't seem to apply to everyone equally because a great disparity exists. Not a disparity based on access or clinical needs, preferences, or appropriateness of intervention, but a racial and ethnic disparity that divides on socioeconomic lines. When all medical care being accessed and administered is considered equal, the poor and racial minorities suffer the most with inadequate insurance coverage, higher incidences of illness, and culturally shaped attitudes that impact and lessen their quality of life.…

    Disparities in healthcare refers to differences between ethnic groups in health insurance coverage, access to care, and the quality of care. Although the term disparities is often used to describe racial or ethnic disparities, there are many dimensions of disparity that exist in the U.S. "There's evidence indicating that socioeconomic status, racial discrimination, and their consequences play a substantial role in health disparities in the U.S." Research shows that racial and ethnic disparities in health are the result of existence of adverse social determinants that contribute to minorities poor health and less access to healthcare.

    The African American population contributes to over twelve percent of the entire United States population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2007). Within this population stems poverty, lower socioeconomic status and health issues (Edelman & Mandle, 2002). The health issues among African Americans have become an ongoing debate. Why is it that African Americans have a higher mortality rate than the average Americans? According to statistics in 1999, Americans could expect to live 77.8 years while the life expectancy of an African American was approximately 73.1 (CDC, 2007). African Americans have become susceptible to many diseases and health problems throughout the last number of years. The male and female citizens of the African American population have been struggling with high rates of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer rates, stroke, diabetes, asthma and HIV/AIDS just to name a few. The African American woman is more likely to be a single mother and more…
