Community, Family, and Race/Ethnic Differences in Health Status in Rural Areas.
Albrecht, Stan L.; Clarke, Leslie L.; Miller, Michael K.
Rural Sociology, v63 n2 p235-52 Jun 1998
Survey of 602 African-American, Hispanic, and White mothers in rural Florida examined the effects of community, family, sociodemographic, and medical-care variables on self-reported health status. Race/ethnicity and community structural indicators (including populations with limited-English-proficiency or low education) were more important than individual or family sociodemographics in explaining health status. Contains 39 references. (SV)
