There are several theories & methods applicable to situations in the community in order to maintain community health & reduce health risks.

This whole course has taught me that the first step to change is community and their involvement in helping to be aware and stay aware

The more well off you are financially and if you are apart of the majority the less susceptible you are to inequities.

[Destiny Bruce @DestinyPHLT]

Some people who are low income stay near factories, plants, industrialized areas and are susceptible to disease from air pollution.

Class, race, and other things so determine the amount of environmental justice a community receives.

[Destiny Bruce @DestinyPHLT]

When you find out your health is worth less because you have less

Sincerely, the people.

Healthcare is important for everyone. We need progress towards greater health equity #improvehelath #BetterPolicyBetterResults

[Destiny Bruce @DestinyPHLT]

@PersonGreg20 I completely agree, this program is beneficial to so many people and if repealed it could do more damage than help.

[Gregory Person @PersonGreg20]

It makes better sense to improve the already existing health care plan. Improvement is better than removal. #backtrack #counterproductive

Bribery and deceit were vital to the researchers in order to get sufficient participation in the study.

[Destiny Bruce @DestinyPHLT]

What's most shocking is that researchers were willing to violate so many standards for proper research and ethics for experimentation.

[Destiny Bruce @DestinyPHLT]

I find it insane that there was treatment available to cure syphilis in the experiment conducted by USPHS and they prevented treatment.
