Poverty and/or health disparities in African Americans in NY

The Assessment must include epidemiological methods including, but not limited to the following items:

• Descriptive information on the target population (e.g., age,
  gender, culture, ethnicity) and location (e.g., city, town, state).
• Identification through assessment means of the health
  issue/problem and how it has affected the target population (information
  on impact could come from mortality and morbidity reports, academic
  research, etc. Avoid using online sources such as WebMD. Government
  sources are fine, but the Ashford Library’s journal collection is the
  best means to discover data on health impact.)
• Risk factors as outlined by epidemiological means (risk factors
  include social and behavioral determinants within the community or among
  the population that contributes to or ameliorates this problem).
• Other demographic information outlined by epidemiological assessment measures.
• Explain how the two essential services that revolve around
  assessment are applied to this health problem: 1) Monitor Health and 2)
  Diagnose and Investigate. These two services ensure that a community’s
  health assessment is accurate.
