A study of outdoor recreation preferences and behavior of Non-Hispanic White Americans (n=618), African Americans (n=647), and Hispanic Americans (n=346) in Cook County Illinois was conducted in early 1999....Results reported here reinforce the need to avoid stereotyping particular groups or using simple explanations of their outdoor recreation behavior.
