Disparities in Health Paper

Disparities in health are not studied because of differences in our biological makeup. We examine disparities because of social and political roots and the differences that determine groups likely to suffer from less than good health (Tobin-Tyler & Teitelbaum, 2019). As a result, there are vulnerable populations.
