Although inequalities in income and education underlie many health disparities, the poor are sometimes held responsible for their health status.

• What are some common stereotypes of the poor? How do these stereotypes contribute to the poor being held responsible for their health status?
• What conditions in your community promote or hinder healthy choices?
