ABSTRACT:
This 30 page paper addresses several related topic areas: the data on poverty in the U.S., the sociology of poverty, urbanism, isolation, and residential segregation, residential segregation, income equity and health, poverty, race and urban emergency medicine, and policy implications. Study after study demonstrates the link between poverty and poor health outcomes. Persons living in urban poverty, in the inner city neighborhoods consistently are shown to have poorer health than those who do not live in these conditions. The situation has been shown to be even worse for minorities, particularly the black population. This essay discusses and explains why these situations exist. The paper also discusses the overuse of emergency departments. Data included. 1 table included. Bibliography lists 34 sources.
