Sample of a paragraph cited from Reading #4
According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM, 2017), structural equities are “systemic disadvantages of one social group compared to others” with whom they coexist, which includes law, policy, and culture (p. 100). The policy is a leading driver of structural inequities on all levels such as state, county, and organizational levels that can shape health opportunities and outcomes. Furthermore, structural inequalities are “the personal, interpersonal, institutional, and systemic drivers” to racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia (p. 100). Structural inequities are also influenced by social, cultural, and environmental determinants of health that can impact one’s personal lived experiences. Lastly, structural inequities, “inequities “pose a limit in reaching people’s full health potential” (NASEM, 2017, p. 102).
