The border region of the United States and Mexico is one of the
most volatile settings for infectious disease transmission and
other health problems due to fluid population movement, widely
diverse sociocultural and economic demographics, and a rapidly
expanding population. Written and edited by public health
researchers, U.S.-Mexico Border Health offers a broad range of
studies involving health care and health promotion on the United
States-Mexico border. Section I examines how the cultural values of
the border population influence their responses to health messages
to participate in health programs. In Section II, the complexity of
the health issues faced by the border region are explored through
discussions of public health programs addressing tobacco and
alcohol advertising, cross-border attempts to control tuberculosis,
community mobilization to prevent the spread of HIV, and programs
to promote contraception. Section III presents three models of
health promotion that have been adopted in the border context,
while Section IV focuses on the centrality of community in health
promotion efforts on the border. The book concludes with a review
of health care issues involving migrant and seasonal farm workers.
As a course reader or a general update on border health issues and
health promotion efforts, U.S.-Mexico Border Health is intended to
provoke discussion and further research concerning health care in
this important region.
