- Explain the relationship between the three levels of prevention and the prevalence and/or incidence of a specific disease of your choice in a specific population. What are the health disparities for this disease and population you chose?

What do you think the rationale is and why?arrow_forwardRates of disease and death are elevated for historically marginalized racial groups, blacks (or African Americans), Native Americans (or American Indians and Alaska Natives), and Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, who tend to have an earlier onset of illness, more aggressive progression of disease, and poorer survival.
