The web site is www.cdc.gov and you can go directly to nutrition and exercise at http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/ The web site should give you more areas to link on this topic as well. The office of minority health, migrant clinicians, and I think but may have the name wrong Julian Samara outreach center in MI is doing Research on similar issues. Since the Office of the Surgeon General has dedicated as one of his priorities as being reduction in health disparities there is more information out there today than maybe 5 years ago. You may want to contact the Hispanic-Serving Health Professions Schools for ideas and information as well.

I am in the process of trying to locate any validated Spanish-language behavioral (physical activity and nutrition, specifically) and social support measures. Do any of you know where I can go/who I can contact to find out about measures that people who are conducting behavioral research with Latino populations may be using?
