Abstract |
Part of a special section on cultural and ethnic diversity. The writers report the findings of a randomly administered interview of 1,808 Chinese American residents of San Francisco, California, that investigated income, language, and citizenship status and their effect on the use of health-care services by this population. The implications of the findings for uninsured and low-income individuals, especially people of immigrant status, are discussed, and suggestions for local health-care planners and advocates are provided.
