Disparities Slide:
– Slide title: Disparities in the Army P3T Program
– Speaker notes: The Army P3T program is a comprehensive health and wellness program designed to provide soldiers with the knowledge and tools to enhance their physical fitness and overall well-being. However, there are notable disparities within the program that affect vulnerable populations such as women, racial/ethnic minorities, and individuals with disabilities.
– Speaker notes: Women in the military face unique challenges in accessing and benefiting from the Army P3T program. Gender-based disparities may include limited resources tailored to female soldiers and a lack of effective communication strategies to ensure their participation. Similarly, racial and ethnic minorities may encounter cultural and language barriers within the program that hinder their ability to fully engage and gain maximum benefit. Additionally, individuals with disabilities may face physical barriers within the program, hindering their ability to participate and achieve their health and wellness goals.
