The health status of Cuba: recommendations for epidemiologic investigation and public health policy

M Terris. J Public Health Policy. 1989 Spring.

Abstract

The health status of Cuba is described in comparison with Costa Rica and, in some instances, the United States. Recommendations are made for epidemiologic studies and for specific health policies to lower death rates from diarrhea and enteritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and injuries. Rapid expansion of training and research in epidemiology and biostatistics is emphasized, and specific goals for health outcomes for the year 2000 are suggested.
