Detailed Description:
Obesity is a major and growing problem among US Hispanics with serious implications for diabetes and other chronic disease risks Current trends among youth suggest that disparities in obesity between minorities and non-Hispanic whites will amplify Reducing such health disparities is a priority for federal state and local governmental bodies and communities Attaining these objectives will require interventions that are culturally- and linguistically appropriate US healthcare providers however have few culturally-appropriate tools and inadequate numbers of bilingual trained healthcare professionals to address these challenges
