At Risk in America, 7 X 10: The Health and Health Care Needs of Vulnerable Populations in the United States

The characteristics and needs of all groups who are high risk--the homeless, immigrants, people with AIDS, alcohol and substance abusers, and victims of domestic or other violence--are illustrated in this comprehensive reference guide. The author gives a systematic and cross-cutting overview of the issues that affect all these groups--whether physical, mental, or socioeconomic--and discusses the steps necessary to achieve a community-oriented health policy that can be effective in decreasing their vulnerability.
