Description of Concept Map
a. succinct description of the vulnerable population identified
People with disabilities, encompassing physical, cognitive, or developmental challenges,
encounter barriers in various aspects of life, including employment, education, transportation,
and social integration. Their full participation in community activities often requires tailored
accommodations and support (Dixon-Ibarra & Horner-Johnson, 2014).
b. A minimum of three variables that place the population at risk
1. Accessibility: Physical and communication barriers hinder access to healthcare
services, contributing to delayed diagnosis and treatment (Matin et al., 2021).
2. Socioeconomic Factors: Higher rates of poverty and unemployment among individuals
with disabilities limit access to essential resources and support services (Matin et al., 2021).
3. Stigma and Discrimination: Negative attitudes and discrimination within healthcare
settings discourage seeking care and lead to disparities in treatment quality (Matin et al.,
2021).
c. the identified health risk(s) or disparity that the population is at risk of
experiencing
1. Socioeconomic Factors: Disadvantages like poverty and limited education contribute
to disparities in access to resources like healthy food and transportation.
2. Accessibility: Barriers in healthcare facilities result in delayed diagnosis and
inadequate treatment, exacerbating health outcomes (CDC, 2020).
3. Healthcare Discrimination and Stigma: Discrimination within the healthcare system leads
to reluctance to seek care and disparities in treatment quality.
4. Health Disparities: Higher prevalence of chronic conditions, mental health challenges,
barriers to healthcare access, and increased risk of secondary conditions further compound
health disparities (Dixon-Ibarra & Horner-Johnson, 2014).
