This article relates directly to my research topic because it examines the relationship between wealth, income, and selected racial and ethnic differences in healthcare. This article uses the cross-sectional research method on a sample where the researchers, "analyzed to examine the association between socioeconomic status and racial and ethnic differences in functional status among those with hypertension, diabetes, a heart condition, and arthritis". This relates directly to my research question because within my questions it asks whether or not different races are more susceptible to chronic diseases. The results of this research indicated that African Americans have a higher rate of hypertension, diabetes, and arthritis in comparison to Whites. One thing I found interesting from this article is that Hispanics have higher rates of hypertension and diabetes, but lower rates of heart conditions.

Article #2: The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
This article relates directly to my research question because it discusses how people with low socioeconomic status view health care and its accessibility. In the article it states that out of the households that were studied 20.2% had at least one adult that experienced a health shock. A health shock is something that causes significant reductions in labour supply among households in low income households in particular are unable to fully smooth income losses from moderate and severe health shocks. With this being said the article also states, "These households were more likely to gain additional adult household members and employed household members, were more likely to move residence and to move distances greater than one mile, and were less likely to visit the food distribution center after the shock." I find this to be really interesting and surprising because it highlights the how health care and social changes can impact people in many ways that are not always though of.

ARTICLE #3: Perceived Discrimination and Privilege in Health Care: The Role of Socioeconomic Status and Race
This article relates directly to my research question because it examines how perceived racial privilege and perceived racial discrimination in health care varied with race and socioeconomic status (SES). The researchers took samples of Whites, Blacks, and Native Americans and found that Whites with higher income and education levels increased perceptions about privilege and less about discrimination, however Blacks at the same level experienced more discrimination. At the end of the article it provides ideas for policies and preventions to reduce the negative perceptions toward people because of their race. I found this article to be interesting because it just adds more evidence for me to use in paper because I already had a solid thesis with evidence however this is just going to make my paper stronger.

ARTICLE 4: Are racial disparities in health conditional on socioeconomic status?
This article relates indirectly to my article because it discusses the link between health and socioeconomic status. This information will be good for my paper however it does not discuss the link to health care. The article explains the linkage and then proceeds to state the evidence between the two. "Overall, the findings provide evidence for the continuing significance of both race and SES in determining health status over time", I find this to be interesting because it seems as if overtime the health of people with low socioeconomic status will start to go down hill not only because of accessibility, but the discrimination that people face. No one whats to feel like they are not worthy or just a waste of space but with discrimination in the health care industry could potentially make a person not want to go to the doctors, the place where they should feel safe and taken care of.

ARTICLE #5: AFRICAN AMERICANS AND THEIR DISTRUST OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM: HEALTH CARE FOR DIVERSE POPULATIONS
This article relates directly to my article because it provides historical events that have led up to this point of distrust in the health care system. The article uses examples like the Tuskegee Syphilis study to explain what people of color went through and how that event was one of the beginning events to where we are today. I plan on using this article to provide historical examples and statistics and incorporating them into my paper by possibly comparing and contrasting them to the statistics of today. One thing that I found interesting about this article is how it provides information from so fa back that is still very relevant to today.
