Chronic Disease Management: Trends within the Hispanic/Latino and Marshallese Communities
Chronic Disease Management: Trends within the Hispanic/Latino and Marshallese Communities
Knowledge Gap:
Chronic diseases are among the most costly and, in part, preventable health problems in the United States. Hispanic/Latino communities and Marshallese communities are disproportionately affected by chronic diseases and the impact can be felt at the individual, family and community level. There is a phenomenal growth rate in Northwest Arkansas among these two communities. In order to adequately meet their health care needs, we must begin to learn, understand and appreciate the culture and diversity within and among the groups relative to their health care behaviors and beliefs.
