SALUD!: A Latina's Guide to Total Health

Determined to break the cycles of female silence both within and without Latino communities, clinical psychiatrist Delgado, president and SEO of the National Coalition of Hispanic Health and Human Services Organization, addresses physical and mental health issues from fertility, sexual pleasure, menopause, alcoholism, depression, AIDS, STDs, diet, exercise and family dynamics. Beginning with a brief account of her childhood and adolescent lack of healthcare awareness, Delgado imparts crucial information with a warm, anecdotal, no-nonsense approach that will put readers at ease.
