5. Education: What is the average education level for this population?

6. Medical Conditions: Are there medical conditions common to the population?

7. Outreach: What efforts have been made to increase medical access to the population?

Based on the chart's information, create a 800-1,000 word paper that discusses the following:

1. The similarities and differences of these two groups with regard to accessing health care.
