"The Contributors are outstanding and well-known professionals, researchers, and policymakers, many holding both clinical and academic degrees." (Divine Inc (formerly Doody Publishing), 4/13/02), "Latinos are the fastest growing group in America. Though they share many health issues with all Americans, they also possess distinct cultural characteristics, expectations, and illness profiles. It will be a rare clinician who will not encounter Latino patients in daily practice. Thus, Health Issues in the Latino Community should be essential reading for all 21st century practitioners" (Steven A. Schroeder, M.D., president and CEO, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) "This important book, by a cadre of leading Latino researchers, policy leaders, and practitioners, could not be more timely. It fills a crucial gap in our understanding of the health and well-being of Latinos, the fastest growing, and soon to be the largest, ethnic/racial group in the United States. This comprehensive analysis of the demographic and health status of Latino populations in the United States is a groundbreaking piece of work. It will make an invaluable contribution to informing the nation's Latino health agenda." (Allan Rosenfield, M.D., DeLamar Professor and dean, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University) "Health Issues in the Latino Community attempts to address the key and crucial health issues that affect Latino's health. As we enter the 21st century, Latinos are becoming the largest ethnic/racial group in the United States. Anyone desiring insight on Latino health issues will find this book to be a comprehensive reference." (Nathan Stinson, Jr., M.D., Deputy Assistant Secretay for Mental Health) "The Contributors are outstanding and well-known professionals, researchers, and policymakers, many holding both clinical and academic degrees."

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
