This link is for the US Departments of Health and Human Services Culture, Language and Health Literacy page. This page is a set of links to important topics for health care providers when dealing with diverse populations, such as age, ethnicity and gender. It even covers guideline for dealing with special populations, such as the homeless or migrant. This would be helpful for any healthcare provider, especially for mine when dealing with public health issues. This site is definitely a trustworthy resource, coming from a department of the federal government.
This link comes from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website. It goes to their Minority Health index, a collection of links based on specific ethnic groups and special populations. The links include a breakdown of what the minority consists of and links to articles about each groups special health concerns. The CDC site overall is a treasure trove of public health information, and this corner of it has quite of bit of information. It would be useful for anyone looking for a starting place on areas of concern for certain ethnic groups and populations. This is a trusted website-The Centers for Disease Control is considered to be a primary source of health and wellness information and procedures for all people.
Amie,
ReplyDeleteYour blog proved to be very helpful. I liked how you had used trusted websites, because as we all know there is a lot of information on the internet that does not prove to be useful and having sites from government pages makes me feel better about trusting hte information, especially when dealing with topics as important as these. The information included in these sites was information I felt I could use not only in healthcare but everyday life and makes me look at other cultures with a more conservative view. By doing so I know to be more cautious and careful with what I say in order to accommodate and try to be courteous to others.
