write an analytical essay on the “social” conditions that have contributed to the health disparities between social groups in the U.S.

There are two specific requirements: First, choose a health condition of your interest and describe how social classes OR racial groups vary in terms of the health condition (e.g., mortality rates due to a particular disease). Your description must include quantitative (i.e., numerical or statistical), as well as qualitative, information gathered from credible sources (e.g., CDC, medical associations). Second, explain the ways in which the sociological (i.e., neo-structural) approach to health, as opposed to the conventional biomedical approach, presented in the textbook helps you understand the health disparities you described above. For full credit, you must cite relevant theoretical concepts, examples, and empirical evidence introduced in Chapters 1-4 and supplementary materials. All in-text (approx. 5-10) citations must be done using double quotation marks such as “… directly cited statement…” (Cockerham 2017:10). Length: 1,000 words “single”-spaced, plus references
