- Abstract
"Hispanics are a fast growing minority group in the country and in Kansas. In 2010, the Hispanic population of Kansas reached 300,012 persons, making up 10.5 percent of the total populationi. These numbers reflect an increase of 59.4 percent compared to the year 2000 when the Hispanic population in Kansas was only comprised of 188,252 persons (2.8% of the population). This document will examine the main focus areas of the Kansas Injury Prevention and Disability Program: unintentional injuries, suicide, assault, motor vehicle crashes and fall related injuries. Rates among Hispanics will be compared to other race/ethnic groups and give basic distributions of age and gender groups"--Summary
