Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) concepts
Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) concepts are fundamental to directing resources to inequities and disparities in access across a broad range of civic and private resources. Assessing the hazards and related threats to public health in concert with identification and prioritization of places and communities that benefit most from nursing interventions can begin to address social determinants of health and core public health goals. Understanding the role of JEDI concepts in healthcare is a critical step to identifying populations that are most affected by health care delivery. What is the role JEDI plays in your local community? Consider the characteristics for assessing vulnerability and adaptation in your community. The list provided below may serve to help you frame your response and while not comprehensive, the list serves as a brainstorming tool to help you consider which groups and individuals in your community are likely to benefit most from interventions.
People with existing health conditions, especially mental illness and asthma
People with limited mobility
People with disabilities
People with low or no wealth
Older adults, especially those living alone
Pregnant people
Infants and children
People who are linguistically or socially isolated
People of color, especially African Americans, Hispanics and American Indians/Alaska Natives

Creating an infographic on how racial disparities, equity
involve creating an infographic on how racial disparities, equity, and/or injustice affect one area of the justice system. The infographic should be centered on one of the segments of the justice system we studied in the course this semester (e.g., juvenile justice, policing, courts, corrections, sentencing, capital punishment). For this assignment, you are asked to use these graphics to dispel commonly shared mis- and dis-information you have seen on social media and/or the news about racial/ethnic, injustice/justice, and equity as it relates to the selected area of the justice system.
You are welcome to create your own infographic using whatever software platform you prefer (e.g., word, powerpoint, photoshop, etc.). You may also find many infographic templates and ideas online by searching google, or recommended websites such as canva.comor visme.co that allow you to edit existing templates for free.
The goals of this project are to 1) debunk common misconceptions about race and ethnicity in the justice system; 2) use data, science, and facts to support your position/demonstrate the level, type, scope, and/or impact of racial disparity in the selected segment of the justice system; and 3) create a visually appealing product that you could share in online platforms.
