Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the health status of Hispanic people in Delaware. The author uses birth, death, and hospital discharge records to determine health disparities between Hispanic and non-Hispanic populations. The focus of the book is on the period from 1990 to 2000, when the Hispanic population in Delaware experienced significant growth. The author finds that the Hispanic population has lower rates of death from chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer but higher rates of death from AIDS. The Hispanic population also has higher rates of preventable hospitalizations for conditions like asthma and diabetes. The author suggests that these disparities may be due to a number of factors, including poverty, lack of access to health insurance, and cultural differences in health-seeking behavior. This ground-breaking approach provides crucial insights for those striving to enhance healthcare equity within the Hispanic community.
