Abstract
In addition to the normal health problems encountered in life, racial/ethnic minorities are often subjected to the stressors of minority status in our society. A large body of literature exists indicating that racism is a continuing stressor in the lives of persons of color; that they are subjected to prejudice, bias and discrimination, education, housing, and employment; and that they are more likely to live in poverty (Jones, 1997; President’s Initiative on Race, 1998; D.W. Sue & Sue, 1999; Clark, Anderson, Clark, & Williams, 1999).
