This reading also reminded me of the health factors presented in class from last week, reinforcing what we learned with statistics that broke down the demographics of the women assessed. Though none of the numbers was particularly surprising, the data really showed that it was a combination of factors that resulted in higher risks for particular groups. Older age, minority status, and a lack of coverage (that was associated with lower SES and income) all had converging effects, indicating the importance of making sure that the health provisions have to be comprehensive enough to cover all the women who may be at risk.
