Health Disparities 2 -
One of the sources I found was from the Kaiser Family Foundation. I found this source from searching keywords such as "healthcare" "disparities" and "asian" in the google search bar while filtering the search to provide only scholarly sources. This source gives statistics on health coverage of asians, socioeconomic differences between different asian groups, and statistics on asian discrimination that affects healthcare quality and access. This source notes that "one in four said they or a household family member decided not to apply for or stopped participating in a government program to help pay for health care, food, or housing in the past year due to immigration-related fears" (KFF) showing statistics on how social and economic conditions can affect overall access to healthcare and physical health. This source was extremely helpful in providing statistics on how Asian American health has been effected by socioeconomic conditions. However, this source is limited and does not provide information on how these disparities are compared to pre-pandemic. While the source was published in 2022, it does not contrast or reference past statistics enough to provide an explanation for the statistics of today.

The source is a demographically-specific statistical analysis based on recent (within 2 decades) data. The process of finding the data is great. Since some stats are based on surveys, which could be biased depending on the survey method, it might help if you find some other data source to compare them with.
ReplyDeleteFrom your analysis of the source, it sounds like it provides a lot of insightful statistics for your essay. One thing I can say is that what if this is a biased towards the pandemic and the racial implications that arise due to the pandemic. Regardless, I feel that it is useful for your essay
