Studies show that Asian-American teens make use of the health information available more often than white and Latino teens in America.

Each generation of American born citizens with Asian ancestry will improve their health habits. Preventive habits may start out behind with the first generation, but they quickly surpass the white teens in this study done by the University of Minnesota. Asian teens will have a healthier diet and a more active lifestyle. Second-generation Asian teens increased healthy habits, the Latino teens declined, and the white teens maintain poor health habits.

All races and ethnic background would benefit from a varied approach to health information.
