This book was released on 1999 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was unique in that it focused on the rural elderly of both Black and White ethnicity's, explored differences between groups by comparing use and knowledge of health services, and controlled for gender, income, educational attainment, health status, age, and health beliefs - the independent variables of the study. Knowledge and use of health services were dependent factors. The Anderson behavioral model (Anderson, 1995) has been extensively used to examine health service utilization. It conceptualizes health care use as the outcome of a complex pattern of interactions between predisposing, enabling, and need-for care characteristics. The literature has supported the utility of the behavioral model for assessing the health care practices of rural older adults. Four questions were posed. These were translated into hypotheses for statistical testing purposes. Black and White elderly residents of one rural county in South Carolina comprised the target population. A sample of 150 elderly residents, 75 Black and 75 White, were randomly selected for participation. The multidimensional health locus of control scales were modified and used in the test instrument to assess health beliefs (both internal and external). Descriptive and background data were gathered from administration of the survey. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the LSD (least significant differences) test, in addition to regression analysis, were used to compute and identify differences between and among groups of data. This research concluded that there was no correlation between use of services and knowledge of facilities. There were differences in utilization by race, with Whites making greater use of health care facilities. Educational levels, health status, income, household composition, type of insurance, and age influenced health care use. It was not influenced by gender, distance from facilities, and health beliefs. There was a statistically significant difference between knowledge and race, with Blacks having higher knowledge scores. Gender, health status, income, distance from facilities, and health beliefs did not influence knowledge. However, educational attainment, type of insurance, household composition, and age did. Service use and knowledge were adequate, in contrast to findings in the literature. Recommendations for further study were formulated.

Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
