Discussion Assignment

Based on your readings, as well as your experiences in your own

country context, or understanding of another country context,
discuss the effect of stigma and discrimination on a particularly
vulnerable population. Be sure to:

1. Identify and describe the vulnerable population that you’ve

chosen to discuss.

2.
3. Explain the nature of their stigmatization and discrimination
(by who, why, what, how, primary vs. secondary).

4.
5. Identify and explain potential or real health outcomes of this
stigmatization or discrimination, including access to
services and interventions.

Your Discussion should be 3-4 paragraphs in length, detailing

your thoughts and position using 2-3 readings references for
support.  Also be sure to pose 1-2 well thought out questions
from which your colleagues can formulate a response or
generate further discussion.
