I need a reflective, thorough, and thoughtful post also citing the references when relevant (textbook or article with page number). These Discussion Board Posts should NOT be a summary of the readings; instead, in the discussion posts for these chapters, I want to hear your thoughts on the material you read, based on the discussion board topic for that chapter.
Later on this semester, you’ll be completing a Workplace Health & Wellness Program Proposal. To begin thinking about this project, please think about an occupation that experiences health disparities – this can be an occupation that you have experience as an employee in, a family member of friend’s line of work, or just an occupation that you find interesting or important. Please state this occupation in your post, and then answer the following questions:
1. What are the key health and wellness disparities that the workers in this occupation face? And are they represented among the occupations with the highest obesity rates
2. What elements in these workers’ workplaces create and perpetuate these disparities? Are these elements comparable with truck drivers or Latina hotel housekeepers?
3. What do you think could be done in the workplace to address these challenges? And how would such efforts align with the Healthy People 2030 workplace objectives?
