Salud rural, Poblaciones hispanas/latinas rurales, Acceso a servicios de salud, Disparidades sanitariasAbstract
Las barreras para acceder a la atención primaria, especializada y preventiva entre los residentes de inmigrantes hispanos rurales en los Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) se examinan utilizando la teoría de sistemas ecológicos y una perspectiva de enfoque de capacidades. Los datos demográficos nacionales y rurales de las poblaciones latinas se describen con un enfoque en los obstáculos sanitarios frecuentemente encontrados por las poblaciones rurales hispanas. Se presentan las posibles soluciones sistémicas para la atención médica accesible y culturalmente competente para abordar las disparidades de acceso rural entre las poblaciones rurales latinas.Downloads
