Latino Health Survey Update

    Initially my search consisted of using "latino health survey" and "community health survey" as keywords for the search. I found mostly nationally based surveys , and some community based surveys. However, these surveys focused more on the different types of illnesses Latinos faced, not the barriers they face in receiving health care.
     Therefore, I changed the search to "latino health barrier survey" and "latino health disparities survey" as keywords. I found surveys describing the different health barriers faced by Latinos such as language, culture, transportation, and documentation at a community or state level. All of these directly relate to our research now. Additionally these surveys describe their methodology, most received their information from focus groups, and they also conducted interviews with service providers.

Here are some examples of the results of the surveys:
