Data on Arab American health is lacking nationwide. This survey of the Arab American community in southwest Brooklyn assessed perceptions of health status, needs, behaviors, and access to services. Bilingual interviewers administered a structured survey to community members in public gathering places. Of 353 surveyed, 43% were men and 57% women, most spoke Arabic and were Muslim, and most had moved to the U.S. after 1990. One quarter were unemployed. Over 50% reported household incomes below federal poverty level. Nearly 30% had no health insurance. 58% reported choosing their health care venue based on language considerations. 43% reported problems in getting health care, including ability to pay, language barriers, and immigration. 42% of men, and 8% of women reported current smoking. Almost half of respondents never exercised. Rates of poverty, lack of health insurance, and smoking in men are cause for concern and were high even for immigrant groups.
L'écosystème pélagique de la côte atlantique marocaine est influencé par la variabilité spatio-temporelle de l'upwelling. L'évolution des paramètres physico-chimiques et biologiques ainsi que leur corrélation et leur regroupement par l'analyse en composante principale nous ont permis de subdiviser le littoral atlantique en quatre zones de remontées : deux zones situées au nord de Cap Juby (28 • N), caractérisées par une activité estivale et deux zones situées au sud, actives en permanence avec une intensité variable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
