And while different initiatives have been set up to improve health outcomes and lessen inequities in the border region, evaluation data are scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulture and Health Disparities\u003c\/i\u003e provides a perspective on U.S.-Mexico border health with an evidence-based guide for conceptualizing, implementing, and evaluating health interventions. Taking into account the unique qualities of border life and their influence on general wellbeing, this important volume offers detailed criteria for creating public health programs that are medically, culturally, and ethically sound. The book identifies gaps in intervention research on major health concerns in the area, relating them to disparity-reduction efforts in the rest of the U.S. and arguing for more relevant means of data gathering and analysis. The author also asserts that progress can be made on both sides of the border despite concurrent social and political problems in the region.
