It notes that minorities living in poverty have limited access to psychiatric evaluations, and undiagnosed PTSD can lead to problems like depression.

Mark believes he received a less favorable performance review than his coworker Kathy due to bias from their mutual supervisor Paul. As the HR director, you cannot directly observe their work but must determine if bias occurred.
