ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: C
Latino children who live in poverty enjoy relatively good health compared with children in other low socioeconomic groups. It is believed that strong family-community support fosters optimum family health behaviors. Many of these behaviors are integrated into the culture as part of the family identity, traditions, and history. Without strong family and community support having other resources in the community is insignificant. Strong support structures can exist in communities where fathers are not married to children’s mothers.
