ESSAY ON: Cultural Aspects of Tuberculosis Along the US-Mexico Border

Number of Pages 11

This research paper: An 11 page paper discussing cultural beliefs that may inhibit successful treatment and prevention of tuberculosis along the border region between the US and Mexico. TB is much more prevalent among the Mexican population, and particularly among those born in Mexico rather than in the US. Public health care largely has been ineffective in reducing the number of new TB cases along the border region, but those individuals in public health who are working to seek out those in need of health care appear to be having a positive effect. Increased economic opportunity likely will result in greater numbers of individuals seeking out health care for themselves and their families. For now, those of Mexican heritage prefer to take care of their own. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
