All documents should be uploaded in Microsoft Word or a compatible format. I will enable vericite, so do not plagiarize! Organize the paper according to the questions that are asked of you so that your answers are easy to follow. Paper should be a minimum of 1200 words.
Papers should include:

Show your understanding of how structural racism has led to this negative health outcome. Use the articles posted to Modules 4 and 5 (and your own outside research). Also include your application of Matthew’s theories to our current pandemic.
3. (approximately 400 words) – A policy solution to racial health inequities. You may refer to the solution(s) put forth by Matthew, but also think more broadly about what other experts have offered in terms of a policy solution to this significant social problem.
