Digital Smoking Cessation Preferences of Predominately Low-Income and Latino Residents of the San Joaquin Valley in California: Qualitative Study

Digital Smoking Cessation Preferences of Predominately Low-Income and Latino Residents of the San Joaquin Valley in California: Qualitative Study

In 2023, of the 21,500 people who used the free cessation program known as Kick It California, which includes the state Quitline, text, web, and chat support, only 21.1% identified as Latino, while 37.7% identified as non-Hispanic White [10]. Latinos face disparities in access to health care and health insurance [14], and 46.7% of Latino adults who smoked were advised to quit versus 49.9% of all California adults [10], which may contribute to underutilization of cessation supports.

Capturing Movement Behaviors in Latinas: Feasibility, Validity, and Acceptability Study of an Ecological Momentary Assessment Protocol

Capturing Movement Behaviors in Latinas: Feasibility, Validity, and Acceptability Study of an Ecological Momentary Assessment Protocol

Latina or Hispanic adult women (hereafter, “Latinas”) are one of the largest, fastest-growing female ethnic groups in the United States and engage in lower levels of physical activity (PA) compared to Latino men and non-Latina women [1,2]. Recent estimates suggest that one-third of Latinas in the United States report no moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA; outside of work), the highest of any racial or ethnic group [3].

Web-Based Human Papillomavirus Education and Professional Skills Intervention for Health Care Providers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Web-Based Human Papillomavirus Education and Professional Skills Intervention for Health Care Providers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Beyond the need for improved HPV vaccine recommendations among health care providers’ nationwide, enhancing communication strategies is particularly important for health care providers practicing with racial minority populations, such as predominantly Hispanic populations residing along the United States–Mexico border. Recent literature has identified both barriers and facilitators that exist in trying to increase HPV vaccine uptake in a diverse and predominantly Hispanic community [12].

Perceptions and Experiences of Developing Prediabetes Awareness and Participating in the National Diabetes Prevention Program Among Hispanic US Adults: Qualitative Study

Perceptions and Experiences of Developing Prediabetes Awareness and Participating in the National Diabetes Prevention Program Among Hispanic US Adults: Qualitative Study

Compared with White non-Hispanic adults with prediabetes, adults with prediabetes of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups are less likely to participate in the National DPP [7,8]. Hispanic adults have the lowest uptake rate into the National DPP among major racial and ethnic groups. Despite making up 15.4% of the US adult population with prediabetes, Hispanic adults only constitute 9% of individuals who have participated in the National DPP [2,8].

Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study

Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study

Some studies early in the pandemic show decreased telemedicine use in Latino or Hispanic populations compared to White patients [20,21]. However, others such as Samson et al [22] found that Hispanic and Asian patients had higher use of telemedicine than White or Black patients. Some authors have hypothesized that there are modifying factors, such as geographical differences, or community preferences that affect use within ethnic groups [23].

Implementation of a Social Media Strategy for Public Health Promotion in Black, American Indian or Alaskan Native, and Hispanic or Latino Communities During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Study

Individuals from Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic or Latino communities were disproportionately impacted by the SARS-Co V-2 virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple studies reported that Black, Hispanic, and American Indian or Alaska Native communities had higher hospitalization rates and death rates across the country [1,2].
