CDC Science Clips: Volume 13, Issue 14, April 20, 2021
This week Science Clips is pleased to highlight Hispanic Health in the United States.
The Hispanic population is not only the largest racial/ethnic minority group in the United States, but it is also the youngest and one of the fastest growing. Population projections estimate that the Hispanic population in the U.S. will almost double by 2060 (increasing from approximately 18% of the population currently to 28%). However, the Hispanic population faces significant health disparities. Disproportionate numbers of Hispanics live in poverty, are uninsured, have poor/fair health status, live and work in unsafe conditions, and face significant disease morbidity and low rates of health care utilization.
Public health efforts to address inequities faced by the Hispanic population require multi-level approaches to consider wide ranging factors from immigration and health care policy, to cultural factors that may impact health beliefs, and contextual factors unique to populations living in ethnic and cultural enclaves. The accompanying reading list is intended to provide a primer on the Hispanic population in the U.S., and highlight key factors that may be crucial in understanding disparities, such as acculturation and social determinants of health, as well as provide examples of research designs and analytic approaches used to study health outcomes of interest.The report consists of these components:
