Edit the following brochure to include the following: 
The project is focused on the Diabetic population and preventing Metabolic syndrome, information directed to the patient is what is expected to be within the brochure.  As you have been learning about this population while working on your project the information you’ve gained should assist you in educating your population. 
1. What specific information did you recognize they need to prevent Diabetes from developing into Metabolic Syndrome?
2. what signs and symptoms do they need to recognize and report to a provider?

Assessment 3 Example [PDF] Download Assessment 3 Example [PDF].
Ethical decision-making at an individual level and one’s ethical behavior can be viewed in three primary steps using an ethical decision-making model. 
First is one’s moral awareness, recognizing the existence of an ethical dilemma. This is the pathway to establishing the need for an ethical decision. This awareness is an individual sensitivity to one’s values and personal morals. 
Once a personal awareness is evident, we can make a judgment in deciding what is right or wrong. This sounds simple, yet there are a number of variables driving this personal judgment. One variable is the individual differences and cognitive bias we all have based on our personal history and experiences. A second variable is the organization. This variable may be influenced from a group, organizational or cultural perspective. A code of conduct or standards of behavior may also influence our judgment. 
This model, operating in a dynamic fashion, leads us to our ethical behavior; taking action to do the right thing. Is the right thing the same decision for everyone? Obviously not. We are all influenced my multiple factors in our decision-making. 
This decision-making model can help us understand the pathway to our ethical decisions.

Week 6 Discussion Post
Hello Dr. Richardson and class, 
Addressing Disparities in STD Rates in California
Infection Rates Analysis Based on CDC Atlas Plus Data
The statistics from the CDC Atlas Plus website show that STD incidence varies with age, race, and gender in California. Persons between the age of 15-24 years are the most vulnerable to STDs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis (CDC, 2021). Moreover, African Americans and Hispanics are especially at a greater risk of getting these infections compared to Caucasians. In addition, the analysis shows that males are more affected by some of the STDs than females, thereby showing the inequitable distribution of the diseases based on gender.
Evidence of Disparities and Rationale
Differences in risk behaviors alone cannot explain the variations in STD rates between ethnic minorities and the LGBTQ+(CDC, 2021). Various systemic factors include discrimination, environmental issues, social status, and health issues. These populations experience challenges like the inability to afford health insurance, high levels of stigma, and a reduction in the number of culturally sensitive physicians, which reduces the likelihood of using the services to get tested and or begin treatment.
Biases and Barriers Contributing to Disparities
In California, some of the biases and barriers contributing to these disparities in care perceived statewide include racism in healthcare settings, leading to under-utilization of services based on mistrust. In addition, some socioeconomic factors include poverty and lack of education, which make preventive care and health education largely unattainable (Chan et al., 2021). The stigma attached to STDs and sexual orientation acts as a deterrence to seeking necessary medical care.
Comparison to National Rates
Comparing STD rates in California to the overall rates in the U. S., California has higher rates of infections, especially in large metropolitan areas (CDC, 2021). This highlights the need for prevention and intervention programs, specifically dominant health campaign campaigns addressing the state’s difficulties. Measures have to be implemented to control the interaction between risk factors associated with the increased STD rates, including population density, migration, and catchment characteristics, to reduce STD spread effectively.
Person-Centered Actions for Nurse Practitioners
To promote STD self-care management among marginalized clients, nurse practitioners can:
Enhance Education and Awareness: Culturally and competently educate clients on STD prevention, symptoms, and the need for STD testing (Healthypeople, 2020). This can be done through organizing awareness campaigns within the community and working with other organizations in direct contact with minorities.
Facilitate Access to Care: Create mobile clinics and telemedicine to provide easy access to testing and treatment to clients in remote areas without discriminating against their status.
Opportunities for Interprofessional Collaboration
Addressing disparities in STD rates requires a collaborative approach:
Public Health Collaboration: Collaborate with public health departments to design and launch targeted prevention strategies for at-risk populations (Healthypeople, 2020). This includes awareness creation, testing fairs, and vaccination drives.
Social Services Integration: Collaborate with social services to address social factors that can affect STD rates more indirectly, such as housing, education, and employment (Healthypeople, 2020). The implication is that health can be enhanced by providing comprehensive care that addresses these elements.

Please respond to question below:
Great discussion on STDs in your community Keileshia. You did a great job discussing STDs in your state.  Based on your discussion, do you feel that there is a higher incidence of STDs in African Americans and Hispanics; do you feel that in addition to not being able to afford insurance that education would play a part in this result?  
Dr. Richardson

It is the role of the doctorly prepared nurse to influence the health and wellbeing of populations through policy, scholarship, and innovation. As part of the completion of the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, graduate students will engage in the scholarship of discovery, application, integration, and teaching through the successful completion and dissemination of a scholarly project.
