Abstract

The health of the United States on the whole is not very different from the Latino, or hispanic, population. The major health concerns of Latinos match up statistically in almost all ways except for conditions caused by unhealthy activities such as eating too much fat or carbohydrates, smoking cigarettes, consumption of too much alcohol, violence and risky sexual behaviors. Many would argue that these are issues because they are not properly addressed in the communities. Further, migratory work and less stable housing and economic situations, despite hard work and commitment to family, seem to interrupt healthy cycles and make addressing these concerns a unique challenge. Healthy People 2010 are geared for these concerns and taking the necessary steps of personalizing its goals to the community and reaching Latinos in florida will generate a substantial and measurable increase in overall health.
