Identifying Health Disparities

• What is the background of the disparity chosen?
• Who does this disparity impact? 
• What are the determinants of this disparity?
• What is the impact of this disparity?
• Is there an intersection of multiple concerns related to race/ethnicity, gender, and sexuality related to this issue?
• How and where would one seek to intervene to address this disparity in the context of the social ecological model?
• How does this disparity affect the health of the population on a larger scale?
• How does your race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or SES impact your ability to work within the community affected by this disparity?
