In 2007, the United States Census Bureau estimated the Hispanic population had grown to almost 45 million. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 1992 and 2006 approximately 13 percent of all work-related injury deaths were Hispanic workers, a rate which exceeds those of other groups. In 2006, the rate of work injury-related death was 25 percent higher in Hispanics compared to all workers.〔 Foreign-born Hispanic workers had a higher rate of work-related injury deaths compared to native born Hispanic workers, and the largest portion of deaths among Hispanic workers occurred in the construction industry, which represented about a third of all such deaths.〔 Since 1997, the most common causes of death have been highway incidents and falls to a lower level.〔 Also the CDC reports that the number of falls as a cause of death increased 370 percent between 1992 and 2006.〔 The National Institutes of Health also report a disparity between the level of severity of illness or injury on first contact with emergency medical services between white and black/Hispanic patients, with black/Hispanic patients tending to wait longer into an illness or injury process to summons help. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emergency Language Systems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
