Book excerpt: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), which began in 2006, is a comprehensive longitudinal multicenter community-based cohort study of Hispanic/Latino populations in the United States. Between 2008 and 2011, 16,415 U.S. Hispanic/Latino adults were recruited from a random sample of households in four communities located in the Bronx, Chicago, Miami, and San Diego, and they underwent a baseline clinic examination. Each community had more than 4,000 participants from diverse Hispanic/Latino backgrounds who self-identified as Cuban, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Central American, or South American and were of diverse socioeconomic groups. They were selected to be representative of the target population in each community rather than the entire U.S. population. Study participants were selected to obtain approximately one-third between 18-44 years of age and two-thirds between 45-74 years of age (Lavange et al., 2010; Sorlie et al., 2010). The goals of the study are to identify risk factors that may have a protective or harmful role in the development of cardiovascular disease in Hispanics/Latinos and to evaluate the role of acculturation in the prevalence and development of risk factors and disease. Study participants underwent an extensive clinic examination to determine baseline cardiovascular prevalence and to identify potential risk and protective factors. The baseline examination was administered in English or Spanish based on the participant's preference. Baseline questionnaires included information on personal and family health, acculturation (including language and cultural food preferences), physical activity, diet, sleep, occupation, and other personal characteristics. Clinical assessments included hearing, vision, and dental exams, and many types of blood tests. Physical activity and sleep were assessed by use of measurement devices that participants took home with them. After the clinic visit, participants were followed regularly by telephone calls to track important health events

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of eliminating disparities in health care in the United States remains elusive. Even as quality improves on specific measures, disparities often persist. Addressing these disparities must begin with the fundamental step of bringing the nature of the disparities and the groups at risk for those disparities to light by collecting health care quality information stratified by race, ethnicity and language data. Then attention can be focused on where interventions might be best applied, and on planning and evaluating those efforts to inform the development of policy and the application of resources. A lack of standardization of categories for race, ethnicity, and language data has been suggested as one obstacle to achieving more widespread collection and utilization of these data. Race, Ethnicity, and Language Data identifies current models for collecting and coding race, ethnicity, and language data; reviews challenges involved in obtaining these data, and makes recommendations for a nationally standardized approach for use in health care quality improvement.

Download or read book The Health of Latino Communities in the South written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a first-ever look at the health care needs, challenges, and realities of newly emerging Latino communities in the southern U.S. Based on focus group research and primary interviews with health care providers in Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, the study also includes a literature review and highlights of a regional meeting with key stakeholders from throughout the South. Findings show that Latinos in the South are reluctant to use public health care programs and facilities due to barriers such as lack of information about available services, lack of insurance, insufficient numbers of bilingual, bicultural personnel, and disparate treatment. The significant increase in the U.S. Hispanic population, particularly in nontraditional regions of the country, such as the South, has not necessarily been accompanied by proportional increases in information about Latinos, their characteristics, and their needs. To address the knowledge gap about this diverse population and focus attention on the health care challenges that the Hispanic community in the South faces, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) and the Department of Health and Human Services â€" Office of Minority Health (OMH) partnered to create the "Health in Emerging Latino Communities" (HELC) project to assess, for the first time, the health care needs, wishes, and realities of newly emerging Latino communities in the South. The following offers a brief snapshot of relevant demographic data, a summary of the project, key findings, and NCLR conclusions.
