How does knowledge of the demography (i.e. age structure and
race/ethnicity) of Orange County inform community health efforts? - answer -
Can better serve the community and cater the interventions/policies to
specific groups to make it most accessible.
- If we disaggregate information and data on Orange County in terms of
race/ethnicity, then public health officials and public policy makers can see
what the majority of Orange County is comprised of, and thus, what needs
that certain community has.
Minority groups in Orange County and their specific health needs to be linked
to their identities.
T/F: The income gap in the US between the rich and poor has decreased from
1980-2018. - answer False
The economic base of California has risen from September 2010 to the
present day. In light of this
circumstance, and assuming all state and federal policies remaining
constant, would you expect
immigration to our state to rise, fall, or remain the same (compared to
immigration levels pre-2010)?
Explain - answer - Rise, because economic base is the source of the division
of labor. There is increased technology, tourism, agriculture, manufacturing,
and logistics. More jobs and more flow of cash in the economy. More
opportunities for success and stability.
, In the class on Culture, we discussed "gun culture" in the U.S. How do
Americans feel about
Gun Laws? What fraction of the population wants stricter laws? What fraction
is satisfied with
the current laws? - answer - Even split regarding gun laws
- 46% of the population wants stricter laws, 8% of the population wants less
strict laws, 39% of the population are satisfied with the laws
T/F: Rifles account for the majority of gun-related homicides in the US -
answer False. Handguns are the main causes.
T/F: Suicides account for the largest fraction of all gun deaths in the US, and
more than
homicide and mass-shooting related deaths. - answer True
Provide specific examples in which culture affects each of the H,A,T
components. - answer - Hazards: gun culture, exposure to hazards, safety:
firearms
- Adaptability (genetic [immunity]/acquired):
Acquired: Hispanic Paradox: low prevalence of mental disorder, place of birth,
diet, exercise
- Tolerance: aging as an illness -> botox, plastic surgery, viagra
In the class on Culture, I discussed the increase over time in diagnosed
prevalence of mental
disorders on college campuses. Describe how this increase relates to one of
the H,A,T components. - answer Tolerance:
