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].

Designing a Culturally Relevant Digital Skin Cancer Prevention Intervention for Hispanic Individuals: Qualitative Exploration

Designing a Culturally Relevant Digital Skin Cancer Prevention Intervention for Hispanic Individuals: Qualitative Exploration

Melanoma incidence among Hispanic individuals has risen by 20% in the past decade [11]. Although the Hispanic population has lower incidence rates of skin cancers than non-Hispanic White individuals, the mortality rate among Hispanic individuals is higher [11]. Hispanic individuals diagnosed with melanoma tend to be younger, diagnosed at more advanced stages with thicker tumors, and have worse 5-year survival rates than non-Hispanic White individuals [12-15].

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mobile App Use for Meeting Sexual Partners Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men and Young Transgender Women: Cross-Sectional Study

At baseline, participants were asked their racial identity and whether they identified as Hispanic or Latinx. Participants were categorized first by ethnicity and then race into 4 racial and ethnic groups: White non-Hisparnic, Black non-Hispanic, Latinx, and other non-Hispanic. Non-Hispanic people who identified as 2 or more races are categorized as “other non-Hispanic.” Additional covariates of interest were sexual identity, gender identity, and age, which were all collected at baseline.
