• Resumen

  • The article reports on Nuestro Futuro Saludable, an afternoon intervention program for Black and Latin students in Boston, Massachusetts between the ages of 11 and 15 that was developed to encourage students to explore the relationship between their living environments, health behaviors and stress. A discussion of the results of the program, which asked the students to record visual impressions of their environment and factors in it which caused them concern, is presented. In the article the authors offer their opinions on the results of the program and on the importance of proper sanitation and hygiene in urban areas.
