During the four national heritage months dedicated to people of color in America (i.e., Black History Month in February, Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month in May, National Hispanic-Latino Heritage Month in September, and National American Indian/Alaska Native Heritage Month in November), OEMA examines the impact of a chronic condition on the health of each ethnic population. Stress is the condition of focus for 2013’s Ethnicity and Health in America Series.
