Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider Diversity and Ethical Considerations as they relate to the diverse population in PRESCRIPTION DRUG OVERDOSE.
Create a section in your Social Change Portfolio called “Part 4: “Diversity and Ethical Considerations”
Conduct a literature review and/or a review of local public health data to identify a specific population (such as LGBT, ethnic minority, etc.) that is affected by the target problem in your community. Cite at least 2 peer-reviewed sources. For example, if your target problem is teenage substance abuse then your broad population is teens. Then, include the following:
Identify a particular subgroup within that population (e.g., males, a specific ethnic minority group, etc.) that is impacted by this problem in a different way or at increased rates.
Describe the unique impact or different rates of the problem among this group.
Based on your research, briefly describe 2 to 3 mechanisms to increase the cultural relevance of a prevention program with the identified population.
