 Access to Health
Care Among Hispanic/Latino Children: United States, 1998?2001
Although much effort has been made
to eliminate inequality in health and health care, disparities in
access to care have continued to exist. Previous reports indicated
that Hispanic/Latino persons were still far more likely to
experience a lack of access to care than either non-Hispanic white
or non-Hispanic black persons. When compared with other children,
Hispanic/ Latino children were most likely to have unmet needs and
least likely to have a usual place of health care. These results
and the fact that the Hispanic/ Latino population continues to
grow indicate a need for information that can be used to improve
health care outreach programs and health policies targeting
socially disadvantaged children.
