The Colonies settlements along the United States-Mexican border are reflective of third-world communities. Although most of the residents are U.S. citizens, they lack the basic educational and work opportunities found in most parts of the country. Because of the limited infrastructure, diseases controlled in most parts of the world are epidemic within these communities. Using the Giger and Davidhizar Transcultural Assessment Model, public health nurses can be instrumental in coordinating services in partnership with community members to enhance health and social service programs.
美国与墨西哥边境沿线的殖民地定居点反映出第三世界社区的状况。尽管大多数居民是美国公民，但他们缺乏该国大部分地区所具备的基本教育和工作机会。由于基础设施有限，世界上大多数地区已得到控制的疾病在这些社区中流行。运用吉格和大卫希扎尔跨文化评估模型，公共卫生护士可以与社区成员合作，在协调服务方面发挥重要作用，以加强健康和社会服务项目。
