Chapter 17 Vulnerable Populations

VULNERABLE POPULATIONS

A vulnerable population is a group of individuals who are at increased uncertainty for health problems and health disparities. [1] Health disparities are health differences linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantages. Health disparities adversely influence groups of people who often experience greater obstacles to health based on individual characteristics, such as socioeconomic status, age, gender, culture, religion, mental illness, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

  • Individuals who are incarcerated and their family members

  • Rural Americans

  • Migrant workers

  • Individuals with chronic mental health disorders

  • Homeless
