healthcare for the homeless
I am choosing to focus on people that are experiencing homelessness and their access to healthcare. I already know that this group faces a lot of challenges. They lack resources such as food, shelter, transportation, and money. They also can lack family and a support system. This group tends to face discrimination as they can be stereotyped as crazy or mentally ill, which led them to live on the streets. Through research I need to see how these lack of resources has an effect on their health. I can find statistics on their mortality rates as well as what diseases they are more prone to. I can also find other challenges that they face that contribute to their access to healthcare.
It is a good topic to write about. I was wondering if you could also mention different racial demographics, or the locations that the homeless people are at and their access to healthcare. Would be good to combine them all.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good topic to write on as there are a lot of social, individual, and economic disparities that homeless people face. Try also exploring the government programs that are in place to address this issue. What is the government doing well? What could it do more of to help the homeless population access quality healthcare?
