Walden HLTH6412 Module 3 Discussion Latest 2025

HLTH6412-1/HLTH8412E-1/HLTH5412 Health Ed & Comm. Strategies Module 3 Discussion

UNCONSCIOUS BIAS

Jordyn lives on the south side of the city which is known for a high crime rate, poor school systems, and low-income families. She arrives at the local clinic across town. Dr. Rider is seeing her today and is aware of Jordyn’s living environment. How can Dr. Rider ensure Jordyn’s concerns are being heard and she receives the care she needs? Health disparities can negatively impact health outcomes. Health disparities compounded with unconscious bias can reduce the quality of care provided to an individual. As diversity increases, health educators must be more aware of their unconscious bias. Through personal assessment and education, health educators can ensure they are providing quality care to all populations. This Discussion will be available from Day 1 through Day 7 of this week. You are required to submit your initial post by Day 3. You are encouraged to post early. Once you have submitted your initial post, start responding with your colleagues. You must begin responding to your colleagues by no later than Day 5 and should continue to interact frequently with your colleagues through Day 7. Part of what makes a Discussion a discussion and not a lecture is the back and forth, in depth, animated interaction of at least two people. If you start a topic and none of your peers are responding to your post, consider what you can do to get the conversation going. Include something that would elicit further thoughts and different opinions from peers. Validate your opinions with references and links to the sources that you used so that your peers can read it for themselves. See your Discussion Rubric for specific grading requirements.
