Potential Advantages and Disadvantages for Vulnerable Populations in Seeking These Resources.

Potential Advantages and Disadvantages for Vulnerable Populations in Seeking These Resources.

In seeking these resources for the use, vulnerable populations may have potential advantages and disadvantages. To begin with, various advantages exist. One of them is that if they manage to access the resources, the vulnerable populations would have better health outcomes. For instance, while it may be expensive to access some services for mental health in various places, these resources offer free support and education to individuals and even subsidize fees for payable services for individuals with poor economic backgrounds (Latulippe et al., 2017). The other advantage is that in accessing the resources, individuals do not need to physically visit the resources as they can access them online. In most cases, all an individual needs to do is to sign up. As such, problems like inaccessibility due to poor transport are eliminated.

The vulnerable populations seeking to access and use these resources may have some disadvantages. For instance, the resources are mostly offered in English, so the vulnerable populations, especially immigrants coming from minority groups, may need the services of a translator who can translate the resource contents into the native language for effective use (Latulippe et al., 2017). In some cases, they may not be able to get such translators, hence underutilization of the resources. Even though online access of the materials or resources can be an advantage, it may also be a disadvantage because some of the vulnerable population may find it difficult to access the internet and appropriately locating the resource, hence needing further help.
