From: A community based participatory approach to improving health in a Hispanic population
Maps showing the growth of the Hispanic population in Mecklenburg County between 1990 and 2005. Map A demonstrates minimal Hispanic penetration into the county in 1990. The safety-net clinics are labeled (+) along with the hospital emergency departments (H). Map B reveals the striking increase in the Hispanic population by the year 2005. Use of maps such as this will be a key step in engaging participants in the research project.
