Formative Evaluation of an HIV Prevention App tailored for Latino Men Who Have Sex With Men: Acceptability and Usability Study

Nationally, HIV incidence among Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) remained unchanged between 2018 and 2022 while decreasing 16% and 20% among Black and White MSM, respectively [2]. In 2022, Latino MSM ranked first in number of new HIV diagnoses among MSM, accounting for 36% of all new diagnoses among MSM [2].

Quality of an Assistive Technology Web Application for Primary Care Physicians Serving Older Adults: Concurrent Mixed Methods Study

Quality of an Assistive Technology Web Application for Primary Care Physicians Serving Older Adults: Concurrent Mixed Methods Study

Despite the benefits of AT, a previous qualitative research study indicated that Latino populations, particularly older adults in Puerto Rico, have limited access to these devices due to a lack of awareness and information about the available AT options [7,8]. This access gap can lead to functional deterioration and adverse health outcomes, including increased hospitalizations, reduced quality of life, and higher health care costs [9,10].

Acceptability of a Web-Based Financial Education Intervention for Latino Caregivers: Mixed Methods Evaluation

Despite depending heavily on informal care and choosing more affordable health care options (ie, adult day care over nursing facilities) [8], Latino families of persons living with dementia still incur higher costs than non-Latino families [7,9]: on average, caregivers spend 26% of their annual household income on caregiving, whereas Latino caregivers spend nearly twice as much (47%) [3].

Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program Tailored to Increase Participation of Black and Latino Men: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program Tailored to Increase Participation of Black and Latino Men: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In the United States, Black and Latino populations are 2-3 times more likely to die of diabetes-related complications than their White counterparts [2]. In general, more men than women have prediabetes, and fewer men are aware of their condition than women [4]. Men are more likely than women to be hospitalized for long-term complications of diabetes and more than twice as likely as women to have a leg or foot amputated.

Culturally Adapted STAR-Caregivers Virtual Training and Follow-Up for Latino Caregivers of People Living With Dementia: Single-Arm Pre-Post Mixed Methods Study

This study reports findings on the feasibility, usability, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of the pilot study with Latino caregivers. The findings will help improve future iterations of STAR-VTF for Latino caregivers, and more generally, advance our understanding of modifying evidence-based interventions to better serve Latino caregivers of persons with dementia.

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

Decreased odds of portal access were seen for those speaking Spanish (a OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.23-0.32) or another non-English non-Spanish language (a OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.47-0.81) and being non-Latino (a OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.54-0.76; Table 1). Demographic characteristics associated with having had at least 1 telemedicine visit were similar but not the same as those for portal activation.

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

In Wisconsin, compared with non-Hispanic White Wisconsin residents, Hispanic or Latino residents had 1.7 times higher case rates, Black residents had 2.1 times higher hospitalization rates, and American Indian residents had 1.4 times greater death rates [5]. Greater prevalence of comorbid conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, among Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic or Latino patients elevated their risk of hospitalization once infected [1].
