Mammography Screening Among Arab American Women in Metropolitan Detroit
Mammography screening behavior has not been well studied among Middle Eastern immigrant women. We conducted a telephone survey of 365 Arab American women residing in metropolitan Detroit, home to one of the largest populations of Middle Eastern immigrants in the US, to determine prevalence of factors associated with mammography, and attitudes and beliefs regarding mammography screening. Of 365 participants, only five were born in the US. Mean age was 53.2 years (SD 10.8). Two hundred twelve (58.1%) reported having mammogram every 1-2 years; 70% ever had mammogram. Age 50-64 years, having health insurance, married status, being in the US over 10 years, and being Lebanese were associated with mammography every 1-2 years. After adjusting for demographic factors, perceived seriousness of disease, general health motivation, and having fewer barriers were associated with more frequent screening. Appropriate mammography screening is decreased in this group. Targeted outreach regarding screening is appropriate for this population; however, lack of insurance may prevent adequate follow-up.

The limb pickup back in March, which took so much of the department's time, also drained payroll budgets, because street department employees were out working so much overtime to clean up storm debris. [...]any mass burning like that is a potential fire hazard and is also a health problem to those who are elderly and or have lung diseases and breathing problems.

Civil Rights Group, Florida Leaders Take Aim at Discrimination
Before Pearl Harbor, an alien registration act was passed requiring Japanese immigrants who were permanent legal residents to register, be fingerprinted and photographed, he said. Within a day of the attack, many people of Japanese descent were arrested and eventually 120,000 people were interned in camps from California to Arkansas.During the investigation of the terrorist attacks, hundreds of Muslim and Arab Americans were arrested and questioned. Late last year, federal officials devised a similar method for keeping tabs on non-permanent residents: Men 16 years and older from 24 Muslim countries and North Korea were told to report to immigration offices to be fingerprinted, photographed and interviewed. State Sen. Steve Geller of Hallandale and State Rep. Phillip Brutus of North Miami, both Democrats, discovered this after introducing legislation in February to seek voter approval for a constitutional amendment that would eliminate the \"Alien Land Law.\"First adopted in California in 1913, the law was designed to keep Japanese immigrants from settling. It was added to Article 1 of the Florida Constitution in 1926 and lays out basic rights such as land ownership -- except in the case of \"aliens ineligible for citizenship.\" If the Herald is still running the ads, [John Tateishi] said the JACL will pursue it because it would be \"a conscious decision to continue the use of `Jap' in advertising, knowing full well that it's a derogatory, racist slur.\"
