In this assignment I reviewed articles written by Angel (2006), Campbell (2005), and Snowden (2005). The social structural factors which contribute to health disparities for persons of minority group status were addressed and the ways in which these factors will be overcome were discussed. The manner in which the culture could be leveraged to encourage positive health behaviors was also addressed. Finally the implications of this paper’s observations for health science research were addressed.
