A focus on the health status and behaviors of Latinos is essential
in California, one of the two states in which half of all Latinos
in the U.S. reside. This dissertation is composed of five chapters
describing various aspects of health-related behaviors of this
growing population. After the general overview, a literature review
describes past findings and areas of interest related to
nutritional and physical activity habits of Spanish-speakers in the
U.S. A pertinent discussion of questionnaire design and
psychometric properties is also included here. Following the
literature review is a secondary data analysis of the California
Women's Health Survey focused on acculturation and physical
activity, providing some insight as to how behaviors change with
assimilation to U.S. culture. The next two chapters describe
development of two nutrition education evaluation questionnaires
focused on food behaviors and physical activity. A conclusion
follows these chapters, including an overview of findings and
commentary regarding the process of data collection and analysis.
