Vulnerable Population
Vulnerable Population in Current Event Paper
Vulnerable Population Vulnerable populations are those who don’t quiet have access to healthcare, which put them at greater than average risk of developing health problems, they as well has limited access to economic America. Immigrants and the poor (including the working poor) have limited access to health care because of the way insurance is obtained. Children, women, and the elderly are vulnerable to a host of healthcare problems, notably violence but also specific health problems associated with development or aging (Chesney & Anderson, 2008).
Barriers
In this particular article I read about vulnerable population, some type of barriers these population would encounter would be language, culture, and accessibility needs for the injured people in these types of emergency disasters. Given the potential for future catastrophic disasters, it is imperative to establish an emergency protocol and plan for community-based or organizations that have expertise in delivering services to people that have these types of barriers (Lunsford, 2000).
Personal Experience With Vulnerable Population My personal experience with vulnerable population is that I my family was one that lived through it. My family migrated on a boat from the Vietnam War back in 1980 to get away form Ho Chi Minh to come to America. When they first got to America, they struggle with language and healthcare assess, they were classified as being under welfare for many years until they can get on their feet and get there citizenship to go to school and get some education.
