The Hispanic population, the largest and fastest growing minority group in the nation, is generally under-served with regard to health services. We explored the use of preventive health services among Mexicans, Puerto-Ricans, Cubans, and "other" Latinos (persons from all other Spanish-speaking countries such as Spain, Central and South America) and examined how the use of preventive services was influenced by nation of origin and by rural versus urban residence.
Provides key facts on preventive health services provided to rural Hispanics.
