| Referring to the course materials for Chapter 9, what are some of the major STEM and Health Disparities in African American communities? (Please be very specific in your references to the course materials.) Why do these disparities exist? In thinking about your health care and medical history (family and individual), do these disparities influence your attitudes about science, technology, and health care in America? How and why? (When was the last time that you had a doctor’s visit or check up? Do you trust America’s doctors, researchers, and scientists to give you the right information? Do you think that it is best to trust only doctors, researchers, and scientists that are of the same ethnic group(s) and/or gender as you are? Why? Would you (or, have you in the past participated) participate in a medical research study if it would cure or improve treatment for a particular disease or medical condition? Why or why not?) | |
