Address the initial discussion question.
Initial Response
In the context of the health care system, it is asserted that an individual’s zip code is more important than their genetic DNA.
Explain your understanding of “competing interest” in health equity.
What does this mean and how does your understanding allow you to utilize social work knowledge and skills while working with clients (you may choose a current client that you are working with in your field practicum) who may have part of their identity impacted by factors of intersectionality.
Be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
Peer Response
Read and respond to at least two of your peers’ initial postings. You may want to consider the following questions in your responses to your peers:

How are they similar or how are they different?
What information can you add that would help support the responses of your peers?
Ask your peers a question for clarification about their post.
What most interests you about their responses?
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
