Abstract:
This study seeks \"to provide data on key health indicators for the state's Hispanic Spanish-speaking population, and to compare those results with those of English-speaking Hispanics and non-Hispanic African Americans and whites.\" The study concluded that \"the elevated risks of fair/poor health, lack of adequate nutrition, low level of leisure-time physical activity, and lack of health insurance among Spanish-speaking Hispanics in North Carolina call for public health action to remedy the negative health outcomes.\"
