Hispanic/Latino Health Initiative

The NCID Hispanic/Latino Health Initiative began in 2002 with an examination of NCID work currently under way in Hispanic/Latino populations, and will identify areas for future research, intervention, and policy development. In addition, the Hispanic/Latino Health Initiative focuses attention on Hispanic/Latino public health workforce development issues, and supports new and expanded training options. The Hispanic/Latino Health Initiative works with community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving institutions, centers and programs of CDC/ATSDR, and the Association of Latino Employees of CDC/ATSDR (ALECA) in promoting Hispanic/Latino health and well being.
