Elderly Mexican Americans: Nativity and Health Access
Author: Alston, Letitia T.
Date Published: 1987
Journal article that explores nativity differences in the levels of functional impairment and access to some kinds of medical resources among elderly Mexican Americans. Survey data from 1976 are used to explore nativity differences in the levels of functional impairment and access to medical resources among elderly Mexican Americans. Foreign-born status is found to be weakly associated with greater functional disability and strongly associated with differences in access to medical resources.
