| Annotation | In a cross-sectional survey of Mexican American (MA) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) subjects at primary health clinics in San Antonio, Texas, the MAs were found to have less positive attitudes towards assisted suicide (AS). Also, MAs were half as likely to indicate that they would request help to commit suicide if they had a terminal disease. The authors' analysis suggests that MA elders disapprove of AS, and factors are mediated by religious values and lower socio-economic status. (RH). |
