Abstract
This field report describes the accessibility and perceived effectiveness of a free acupuncture program among a group of predominantly low-income Hispanic/Latino adults. Surveys, developed based on the Levesque Conceptual Framework of Access to Health Care, were administered to clients. Baseline (n = 245) and 6-week follow-up (n = 79) surveys were analyzed to document early program findings. A majority of clients were Hispanic/Latino (72.7%) and female (73.1%). Most reported their original pain complaint was treated very well/well (98.7%). Clients reported an average 1.2 points pain level decrease (scale 1-10) at follow-up (p < 0.0001). Early program results suggest this acupuncture program was accessible and well received by low-income Hispanics/Latinos.
