Abstract:
:National health data reported for Asians in the aggregate present a picture of good health, but significant health disparities exist between Southeast Asian refugees, and Cambodians in particular, and the overall population of the U.S. To effectively address health disparities, ethnically specific data is needed. Data from a community survey of 381 Cambodian adults 25 years of age and older are presented. Overall, 44% of respondents reported fair or poor health. Using multivariate logistic regression, we examined the relationships between self-rated health and demographics, timing of immigration, language use and literacy, and access to health care. In our final model those most likely to report fair or poor health were female, older, unable to work due to disability, to have spent a smaller proportion of their life in the U.S., and to have wanted to see a doctor in the past year, but not been able to.
