This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 889 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A team of noted specialists explains the health issues most common to Asian Americans, how and why treatment disparities exist, and the changes necessary to improve the health of this growing population. According to the most recent census, there are 11 million Asian Americans now, and their numbers are expected to triple by 2050. Hailing from more than 50 different countries and cultures, their health is affected by genetics, actions, beliefs, and prejudices that differ from those of others in the United States. In these timely volumes, a cross-disciplinary team of specialists explains the health issues and diseases most common to Asian Americans, how and why disparities in both disease development and treatment exist for them, and what changes must be made to improve the health of this growing group. This comprehensive collection includes vignettes and personal stories that illustrate the issues discussed and their impact on both individual and societal levels. Behavioral factors, including diet, smoking, and substance abuse are addressed. The text also describes traditional Asian American medical practices, as well as ways in which those practices have influenced American health care overall.

Download or read book Environmental Setting of Chinatown written by San Francisco City Planning Department and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Environmental Setting of Chinatown: History, People, Land Use Regulations, Development Trends San Francisco has the oldest and the second largest Chinese American community in the United States (new York is first). Chinatown is an integral and important part of San Francisco's environment, history and character. As the city's social and economic changes affect Chinatown, planning and zoning should respond to these changed needs and conditions. Zoning sets standards for the size, height and use of new and remodeled buildings. The zoning pattern in Chinatown has not undergone a major revision in over 15 years, and the zoning itself was not based on any overall plan for Chinatown. In the intervening years, however, a number of Master Plan policies affecting Chinatown have been adopted. In recent years there has been a considerable increase in office development in the financial district, retail development to the south of Chinatown, and high rise residential development on Nob Hill and Russian Hill. There have also been significant shifts in the population composition and needs of Chinatown's residents. Because there are many complex needs and issues in Chinatown, the Planning and Zoning Study needs to provide significant opportunity for public participation. Six community forums will be conducted both in Cantonese and English. The forums will identify and analyze issues and Master Plan policies related to zoning problems. The forums will provide a chance for participants to understand, step-by-step, the basis for making zoning changes and to influence the conclusions reached. The Environmental Simulation Lab of the University of California will provide a scale model of the Chinatown area to test different zoning proposals. After completion of the forums, the Planning Department will design a zoning proposal drawing on the Master Plan and on what was learned through the background studies and discussion at the forums. Then there will be formal public hearings at which all interested parties can testify and the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors will make the final decision on what zoning regulations will be adopted.

In this book, Doug Brugge and H. Patricia Hynes relate experience of multiple community collaborations across the United States and highlight the lessons to be learned for those involved in or embarking on community-collaborative research. The volume brings together a variety of cases, examining the nature and form that the collaboration took, the scientific findings from the work and the ethical issues that needed to be addressed. Actual cases covered include lead contaminated soil, asthma and housing conditions, the impact of development on environmental health, the impact of radiation hazards, urban gardening, hog farming and diesel exhaust. The concluding section analyses the experiences of those involved and puts their findings into broader context. Community Research in Environmental Health: Lessons in Science, Advocacy and Ethics provides a valuable guide for all those interested and involved in community research.
