Abstract (English): Objective. The region on the United States (US) side of the US-Mexico border consists of 44 counties in four states; populations on both sides of the border have similar health problems. Healthy Border 2010: An Agenda for Improving Health on the US-Mexico Border (HB 2010) is a binational agenda of health promotion and disease prevention for individuals in the region. This study reports on the health status of the four southern Arizona border counties. Methods. Data on health indicators for Cochise, Pima, Santa Cruz, and Yuma Counties were collected from the Arizona Department of Health Services Vital Records and Statistics. Progress was calculated as a percentage made toward or away from the 2010 target. Comparisons were made between the border counties and Arizona. Results. Progress toward the HB 2010 targets varied among the border counties. All border counties made progress toward the targets with the cervical cancer, hepatitis A, and teenage birthrate objectives. Most border counties moved toward the goals for breast cancer, diabetes mortality, tuberculosis, motor vehicle crashes, infant mortality from congenital abnormalities, and prenatal care. Border counties moved away from the target with the human immunodeficiency virus and infant mortality objectives. Conclusions. Assessment of the HB 2010 objectives provided a comprehensive description of the health status of the population. Although the southern Arizona border counties have shown improvement in some areas, monitoring is still needed to identify the disparities that remain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo. La región estadounidense de la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos consta de 48 condados distribuidos en cuatro estados, y las poblaciones que viven a uno y otro lado de la frontera tienen problemas de salud similares. El programa binacional "Frontera saludable 2010" está destinado a las poblaciones de la región y se propone mejorar la situación sanitaria en la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos mediante actividades de promoción de la salud y prevención de enfermedades. Este estudio es un informe sobre la situación sanitaria de los cuatro condados de lafrontera sur de Arizona. Métodos. Los datos acerca de los indicadores de salud de los condados de Cochise, Pima, Santa Cruz y Yuma se obtuvieron del registro civil y estadísticas del Departamento de Servicios de Salud de Arizona. Se calculó el progreso mediante un porcentaje que refleja la cercanía o la lejanía del objetivo propuesto para el año 2010. Se compararon los datos correspondientes a los condados fronterizos con los del estado de Arizona. Resultados. El progreso hacia los objetivos del programa "Frontera saludable 2010" no fue uniforme en los distintos condados fronterizos. Los cuatro condados lograron avances hacia los objetivos propuestos en materia de cáncer cervicouterino, hepatitis A y tasa de natalidad entre las adolescentes. La mayoría de los condados fronterizos están más próximos a cumplir con los objetivos en materia de cáncer de mama, mortalidad por diabetes, tuberculosis, colisiones de vehículos automotores, mortalidad infantil por anomalías congénitas y atención prenatal. Sin embargo, ninguno de los cuatro condados se está acercando al objetivo propuesto en cuanto al virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana y la mortalidad infantil. Conclusiones. La evaluación de los objetivos del programa "Frontera saludable 2010" brindó una descripción integral de la situación de salud de la población. Aunque los condados de la frontera sur de Arizona han logrado avances en algunos aspectos, sigue siendo necesario mantener la vigilancia con el fin de detectar las disparidades aún presentes.
