Q1- Can you give me a response for this post

The health disparity that I chose is lower income groups. Lower income groups experience lower life expectancy and higher morbidity rates across various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease (House & Williams, 2003; Kim et al., 2000; Navarro, 2000).

Step one of the Three Stream Approach is the Problem Stream. My first step according to the three stream approach will be framing the issues shared by lower income groups in order to justify that it is in fact a health disparity. I will focus on the points of lower life expectancy and higher morbidity rates across various diseases to policymakers; making it obvious that policy will make a difference. In the beginning I will focus solely on a single disease in order to be able to give the policy makers a clear understanding of what exactly is at stake here. Low income neighborhoods tend to have more fast food and liquor stores than healthy alternatives to increase their quality of life. Policy has the opportunity to limit the unhealthy convience options for those who suffer the most from the morbidities and chronic health conditions that are associated with poverty.

Step two of the three stream approach is to conduct your research. In this step I will be able to educate myself and the policy makers of policies that are associated with health disparities of low income groups that are already on the agenda. Some of the policies that are structed to help this health disparity include zoning and planning policies that restrict the number of fast-food and liquor outlets and support the opening of grocery stores in low income neighborhoods.

Lastly, step three is policy stream. Policy Stream is where I will establish the my policy goals. I will write out the resoures that I need in order to reach my goal. A few resources that will benefit the individuals of low income groups are healthy food alternatives to fast-food, green trails or waling trails, and other ways to promote healthy living that are easily accessible. Finding research to support these resources is key to bringing these policies off of the paper.
