Injury Prevention Awareness in an Urban Native American Population.
Hsu, James S. J.; Williams, Scott D.
American Journal of Public Health, v81 n11 p1466-68 Nov 1991
A survey of 50 Native American and 100 other families assessed injury prevention awareness and practices among urban Native Americans in Salt Lake City (Utah). Native American families were less aware of and less likely to practice prevention than others. These characteristics are more likely caused by low-income status than culture. (SLD)
