Compared to my previous topic for my source-based essay, my inquiry research paper had much more information available. My new research topic focuses on the disparity in medical diagnosis. Now, I have found a total of four sources. These four sources were found through the CCNY library using the Opposing Viewpoint database provided. My first source, an academic journal, is titled “Understanding and Addressing Racial Disparities in Health Care”. This focuses on the impact race has on medical diagnoses. Unbeknownst to many, many biases exist in hospitals and clinics whether doctors/nurses realize it or not. My second source titled, “COVID-19 prevalence, symptoms, and sociodemographic disparities in infection among insured pregnant women in Northern California”, is also an academic journal. This focuses on the disparities of medical diagnosis when it comes to people of different income brackets. Another source I have found is, “Disparities in women’s health care access”. This source is a magazine, which is different from the other two sources mentioned beforehand. My last source is “New Dementia Study Findings Have Been Reported from Tufts Medical Center (Dementia Diagnosis Disparities by Race and Ethnicity)” and it’s a news report. This is a source that I am not entirely sure of, only because it’s a topic I’m not sure I want  to discuss in my paper. My paper has a lot of work that needs to be done regarding research. A couple of things I need to work on is getting sources that are from the media: like photos or even tik-toks. I also need to come up with a couple more sources that oppose my viewpoint, and a couple more that support my stance.
