| Hispanic/Latinos represent 13% of the US population (US Census Bureau, 2002), during the next three decades this population is expected to rapidly increase and will require a variety of health care services to maintain good health. Hispanics are currently experiencing a higher burden of chronic diseases as a consequence of barriers to adequate health care, lifestyle and cultural factors. The CDC (2006) reported that Hispanics had a disproportional burden because of the higher incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Hispanics are 1.9 times more likely to develop diabetes and to have a higher rate of disability and mortality. Prevention efforts must be culturally tailored to address personal risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, tobacco use, excessive body weight, and inactive lifestyle. This session is relevant to public health leaders and persons who investigate health disparities. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the factors that place Hispanics at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality compared to non-Hispanic whites. 2. Know the programmatic approaches used by a large scale diabetes prevention program to increase patient’s satisfaction with health care delivery. 3. Identify the formative evaluation techniques to create a culturally appropriate theatric Latino performance. 4. Describe the controversy surrounding acculturation and its effect on asthma. | |||
