Provide a succinct descrip琀椀on of the vulnerable popula琀椀on iden琀椀昀椀ed. Homeless people in urban regions, such as those in Chicago, cons琀椀tute a popula琀椀on that is much more suscep琀椀ble to disadvantage for a number of reasons, including a lack of secure housing, restricted access to medical treatment, and increased vulnerability to environmental and safety hazards. Many individuals experience houselessness in Chicago, Illinois, with 65,611 people either living in shelters, temporarily staying with others, or living unsheltered in 2020 (Adams et al., 2023). These individuals frequently face a variety of complicated obstacles, including unemployment, poverty, mental illness, and substance use disorders. All of these factors lead to deteriora琀椀ng health outcomes and restricted usage of health services. b. Discuss a minimum of three variables that place the popula琀椀on at risk. Social and systemic factors, including poverty, unemployment, mental health and substance use challenges, domes琀椀c and family violence and discrimina琀椀on frequently drive homelessness rates (Rukmana, 2020). The three variables that place the popula琀椀on at risk are: • Limited access to healthcare: Homeless individuals o昀琀en do not have a primary care provider because they are unable to a昀昀ord or access the healthcare system. This results in delay or not being able to receive the treatment at all. Interven琀椀on Proposal: Complete the sec琀椀ons below. a. Iden琀椀fy one na琀椀onal popula琀椀on health goal or objec琀椀ve related to the iden琀椀昀椀ed risk or disparity, such as Healthy People 2030 or another na琀椀onal ini琀椀a琀椀ve. One relevant objec琀椀ve from Healthy People 2030 is to reduce the propor琀椀on of people living in poverty (Healthy People 2030, n.d.).This objec琀椀ve is directly related to the issue of homelessness and housing instability because one of the main causes of homelessness, food insecurity, and poor health outcomes is 昀椀nancial hardship. People experiencing homelessness have poorer health outcomes, and experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality than the general popula琀椀on (McWilliams et al., 2022). b. Propose one strategy for the advanced prac琀椀ce nurse to collaborate at the local, state, or na琀椀onal level to advocate for the health of the vulnerable popula琀椀on and advance the iden琀椀昀椀ed Healthy People 2030 goal or
