PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Latinas with disabilities, estimated at over 3 million U.S. women, report greater levels of disablement than White, Non-Hispanic White women with disabilities; over the life course Latinas experience increased numbers of functional limitations, more difficulties with activities of daily living, and more unemployment due to impairments. The reasons for this health disparity are unclear. This application requests four years of funding in order to examine the experience of disablement among Mexican American and White, Non- Hispanic women and to compare ethnic differences in disablement among the two groups of women. The multiple methods of ethnography ¿ interviews, questionnaires, participant observation, life history calendars, and field notes ¿ are essential tools for gathering the data that is necessary for developing explanatory models of disablement and for comparing differences in outcomes between ethnic groups. It is estimated that up to 120 women, 60 Mexican American and 60 Non-Hispanic White, will be selected based upon age, gender, ethnicity, and mobility impairment using purposeful sampling techniques. Current degrees of disablement will be described using quantitative measures and field notes based upon participant observation. Duration of disablement, emic descriptions of disablement, and selection of accommodations will be explored using topical biographical interviews, participant observation, and life history calendars. The analysis will be based on traditional ethnographic analyses: domain, componential, and cultural thematic analyses as specified by Spradley. PROJECT NARRATIVE The results of this study will provide the theoretical knowledge base needed to develop future interventions addressing health disparities in disablement among Mexican American women.

项目总结/摘要 拉丁裔残疾人，估计超过300万美国妇女，报告残疾程度高于 白色、非西班牙裔白色残疾妇女;在整个生命过程中，拉丁裔的经验增加 功能限制的数量增加，日常生活活动的困难增加， 到损伤。造成这种健康差距的原因尚不清楚。这份申请要求四年的 资助，以研究墨西哥裔美国人和白色，非 西班牙裔妇女，并比较两组妇女残疾的种族差异。的 民族志的多种方法：访谈，问卷调查，参与者观察，生活史日历， 和现场笔记是收集数据的基本工具，这些数据是制定解释性政策所必需的 残疾模式和比较不同种族群体之间的结果差异。据估计 将根据年龄选择多达120名妇女，其中60名墨西哥裔美国人和60名非西班牙裔白色人， 性别，种族，和流动性障碍，使用有目的的抽样技术。目前的程度 将使用基于参与者的定量测量和现场记录来描述残疾 观察.残疾的持续时间、对残疾的情绪性描述和住宿的选择 将使用专题传记访谈，参与者观察和生活史日历进行探索。的 分析将基于传统的民族志分析：领域，成分和文化主题 Spradley指定的分析。项目叙述 这项研究的结果将为制定未来的干预措施提供所需的理论知识基础 解决墨西哥裔美国妇女在残疾方面的健康差距。
