Perceptions of Wearable Health Tools Post the COVID-19 Emergency in Low-Income Latin Communities: Qualitative Study

Perceptions of Wearable Health Tools Post the COVID-19 Emergency in Low-Income Latin Communities: Qualitative Study

A participant explained: Most Hispanics don't have health care. I do not have that great health care myself and I have two jobs ... We lost, we had a hospital down the street, and they went bankrupt. Right now, all we really have is small clinics. So, I'm pretty sure that's all the help that anybody around here can get and it’s really busy. Many participants (n=11) mentioned that these small clinics were completely inaccessible due to overcrowding. It's overly populated.

Refining Cultural Adaptations of a Behavioral Intervention for Latino Caregivers of People Living With Dementia: Qualitative Interview Study in Washington State

Refining Cultural Adaptations of a Behavioral Intervention for Latino Caregivers of People Living With Dementia: Qualitative Interview Study in Washington State

Another Spanish-speaking caregiver, after learning about the prevalence of dementia among Hispanics in the STAR-C video, expressed the need for more information on prevention and early signs. They said: That's really good [the information in the module]. I was genuinely surprised when it said that one in every eight Hispanics has or will develop, right? So, it's a bit alarming, and I think, wow, I don't know, I would like to know more about whether there would be any way to prevent it.

Benefits of mHealth Co-design for African American and Hispanic Adults: Multi-Method Participatory Research for a Health Information App

According to the only nationally representative health literacy study of English-speaking adults in the United States, Hispanics and African Americans had lower average adequate health literacy than their White counterparts [11,12]. It is also important to consider how language is associated with health literacy in relation to the Hispanic population that prefers to speak Spanish or has limited English proficiency for health-related concerns.

Using Mobile Apps to Assess and Treat Depression in Hispanic and Latino Populations: Fully Remote Randomized Clinical Trial

Using Mobile Apps to Assess and Treat Depression in Hispanic and Latino Populations: Fully Remote Randomized Clinical Trial

Similar to our previous work [7,27], this study has shown the feasibility of recruiting and enrolling a large and diverse sample of Hispanics/Latino adults. Previous research and observations from clinical practice suggest that Hispanics/Latino populations in the United States face barriers to research and treatment, including stigma and time constraints. This study was intended to overcome those very barriers by leveraging mobile apps that could be used at each participant’s convenience.
