ALARMING STATISTICS REGARDING HISPANICS IN CHICAGO

GONZO SOCCER

• Only 38.7% of Hispanic female high school students in Chicago participate in sufficient vigorous physical activity each week, compared with the national average for high school females of 55%.

• Among high school girls, Hispanics (11.5%) have higher obesity rates than white non-Hispanics (7%)

• According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (2000) three in five Latina teens gets pregnant at least once and the teen pregnancy rate for Latinas is 69% higher than the national average.

The Women’s Sports Foundation Report: The Status of Health Physical Activity in Chicago Hispanic Girls , published by the Women’s Sports Foundation.

GONZO SOCCER

A recent study funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (2004), identified key barriers to healthier residents in minority communities: lack of funding for physical education, no parks, no programs, no role models and no family engagement.

“The good news is that sports participation

does have a powerful protective effect for

Hispanic girls in particular, especially with

regard to reducing rates of obesity, eating

disorders, cigarette smoking, marijuana

use and binge drinking.”
