Socio -Ecological Model factors influencing Fruit and Vegetable - A Multi-Institutional Retrospective Review

Abstract

The results showed that the MI patients discharged from the predominately black MUTH had a higher percentage of female patients, tended to be younger with higher incomes, and had a much higher percentage of patients who stayed in the hospital two or more weeks than was the case for the MI patients discharged from the predominantly white MUTHs. The total hospital charges for the predominantly black MUTH were similar to the charges from the predominantly white PNP teaching hospitals and the GNF teaching hospitals. Additional research may further explore these differences in more depth.
