Amid its growing diversity and shifting demographics, the U.S. is
still home to glaring health inequities by race, ethnicity, and
class. Yet while it is customary to identify poverty as their root
cause, other complex mechanisms are involved in their perpetuation.
Based on recent major studies on African-American, Latino,
Asian-American, and Native American populations, Health Disparities
in Youth and Families offers a thorough, nuanced examination of a
wide range of causal and protective factors. Rigorous theories and
models take into account cultural, contextual, and personal
variables, including the roles of family identity, school, and
neighborhood, and motivation toward health awareness (with
attention paid to less frequently studied phenomena such as
within-group inequalities and the Hispanic Health Paradox).
Contributors approach their subjects with realism as well as
optimism as the book: Provides reliable information on the scope
and etiology of health disparities. Identifies the methodological
and political challenges associated with this issue. Proposes
comprehensive, integrative models for understanding disparities.
Features examples of innovative programs for improving minority
health. Includes an in-depth chapter on substance use and mental
health among Native American youth. Offers a useful starting point
for the exchange of ideas necessary to address health disparities.
A provocative resource on a pressing social concern, Health
Disparities in Youth and Families is necessary reading for health
policy researchers, health care providers, and others dedicated to
better health outcomes for all Americans Content Level Research
