曼达是一种宗教交换，一位年长的墨西哥裔美国人承诺，如果圣母或其中一位圣徒同意请求，他将履行宗教行为。这项研究的目的是了解制作曼陀罗是否与老年墨西哥裔美国人的健康有关。研究模型的研究结果表明，做曼陀罗与更强的个人控制感相关，更多的个人控制感反过来与更好的健康相关。
A manda is a religious quid pro quo whereby an older Mexican American promises to perform a religious act if the Virgin or one of the saints grants a request. The purpose of this study is to see whether making mandas is associated with health among older Mexican Americans. Findings from the study model suggest that making mandas is associated with a greater sense of personal control, and more personal control is associated, in turn, with better health.
