“Health Disparities and Environmental Concerns among African American Females in Martinsburg: A Comprehensive Analysis”

Revisions needed,  read carefully (please use: https://www.city-data.com/city/Martinsburg-West-Virginia.html as oneof the sources):
-The subpopulation and community are clearly identified as African American females living in Martinsburg, such as population size and the percentage living in poverty; however, the description lacked key details and data for the areas of gender, race, income, education level, crime rates, occupations, access to healthcare, transportation, and food sources, and health and nutrition rates.  Please provide a description that includes all the given points; using the task template linked in the course announcements is highly encouraged to organize the required components.
-Environmental concerns, such as air quality and sanitation, are clearly listed. A discussion of how the environmental concerns are relevant to the identified subpopulation needs further development.
-A logical discussion was given of how the health conditions of the subpopulation are more susceptible than those of the larger community population; however, pertinent demographic data from the subpopulation compared with the demographic data of the larger community population was not evident.
-A descriptive discussion was given of the significance of poverty affecting the subpopulation; however, explanations supported by local, state, or national data addressing all the given questions of the biggest contributor to morbidity and mortality, controversial community health concerns discussed in a local newspaper or local online resource, what is believed to be the biggest concern related to health in the community, what causes the most visits in the emergency room or hospital admissions in the community, and what is believed to be reducing the quality of life in the community need further development.
