Which of the following are identified as determinants of health care disparities? (Select all that apply)

Choice A reason: OSHA, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is responsible for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions by setting and enforcing standards. It does not serve the healthcare needs of the population directly.

Choice B reason: CMS, or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, administers the nation's major healthcare programs including Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It serves more than 1/3 of the US population by providing healthcare coverage.

Choice C reason: DEA, or the Drug Enforcement Administration, combats drug trafficking and distribution within the United States. Its primary role is to enforce the controlled substances laws and regulations and does not provide healthcare services to the population.

Choice D reason: FDA, or the Food and Drug Administration, is responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices. It regulates food safety and other aspects of public health but does not serve the healthcare needs of the population in the same capacity as CMS.

Choice A reason: Blogs and opinion-based internet articles are generally not considered valid sources for academic or professional literature searches. They may contain subjective views and lack the peer-reviewed rigor that is required for reliable information.

Choice B reason: Using keywords or phrases to search databases is a fundamental factor in conducting a literature search. It helps in narrowing down the search to relevant articles and studies.

Choice C reason: Medical databases often have a learning curve and require time and practice to navigate effectively. Understanding how to use these databases is essential for a successful literature search.

Choice D reason: Spelling out acronyms and abbreviations is important to avoid retrieving unrelated articles. It ensures that the search results are relevant to the topic of interest.
