- Abstract
In a rural Midwestern community sample (n=273), large proportions of Somalis and Whites ranked overall health as "Very good" (57% and 50%, respectively), while Hispanics (42%) considered it "Good". Across all groups, most are either "Happy" or "Very happy" with their jobs--64%, 91%, 83%--or their families--85%, 93%, 91.6%--with reference to Hispanics, Somalis, and Whites, respectively. When asked, "In the past 30 days, how often did you feel hopeless?", 83% of Somalis and two-thirds (67%) of Whites responded, "None of the time", while half (50%) of Hispanics indicated the same. Overall, Hispanics appeared to be less healthy, happy, and hopeful than their White and Somali counterparts.
