Week 5

This article really assaults the audience with numbers and percentages, which is a little difficult to sift through. I didn't realize how many factors contribute to quality of health,including race and income. Although I realize that correlation does not equal causation, it is still disappointing to see so many "Women of Color" with low percentages of screening. However, it was interesting to note that among all of the key issues, 90% of women had received a Pap test screening, compared with 79% who received a mammogram. It is relieving to know that cancer is still getting women's attention, although maybe we need to shift focus to the more hidden killers, like high blood pressure and diabetes.
