| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS nCUR0xHv. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : This study sought to describe the health status, health insurance, and health care utilization patterns of the growing population of immigrant Black men. Methods : We used data from the 1997-2000 National Health Interview Survey to examine and then compare health variables of foreign-born Black men with those of US-born Black and White men. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine health outcomes. Results : Foreign-born Black men were in better overall health than their US-born Black counterparts and were much less likely than either US-born Black or White men to report adverse health behaviors. Despite these health advantages, foreign-born Black men were more likely than either US-born Black or White men to be uninsured. Conclusions : In the long term, immigrant Black men who are in poor health may be adversely affected by lack of health care coverage. |
