There are many studies that reveal that blacks generally mistrust the healthcare system, receive a lower quality of care, and use fewer medical services in general than whites (Dayer-Berenson, 2014). Tasks: In a minimum of 200 words, post your response to the following: A nurse at a public health clinic reads statistics that the local hospital has seen an increase in the number of emergency center visits among those in the black/African American community. She also notices that there has been a decrease in the number of black/African American patients visiting the public health clinic, and when black/African American patients do show up to the clinic, they are reluctant to talk about their health care conditions. •Based on the nurseâ€s knowledge of health disparities impacting this population, what health conditions or diseases would the nurse target for a prevention campaign? •What are some possible reasons emergency center visits have increased while public health clinic visits have decreased? •What strategies would you suggest to reduce mistrust?
