Although the reading was brief it brought forth several important points about the health of young women in America. It's important to notice how current this summary is and to see how women are affected by health disparities today. A lot of the points reminded me of our discussion and presentation last time. Especially the topic of diabetes, obesity, and smoking. The ethnic breakdown is something we haven't spent as much time discussing and is essential to explore, however, as we've seen already women have been underrepresented in studies so it may be a little too much to ask for even more specific research at this point. Also I would be interested in learning more about how socio economic status relates to these prevalent health disparities especially as we will be working in Sacramento and San Francisco, two places which present us with women of all different walks of life and backgrounds.
