Women's Health 365 - Minority Female Health

From Women's Health 365, African American and Latino women view good health differently than Caucasian women and are more in tune with the impact they can have on their health and the health of their families according to National Women's Health Resource Center's 3rd annual Women Talk survey. The survey is the 3rd in a series of research by the NWHRC that checks out women's attitudes and perceptions toward their health.

When asked what being healthy means to them, African-Americans and Hispanic women cite "being happy" as a key indicator of good health (forty-three percent each) verses 33% of Caucasian women. Additionally, spiritual well-being is of particular relevance to African-American women (forty-four percent verses twenty-six percent of Hispanics and twenty-five percent of Caucasians).
