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].

Psychometric Properties of Measuring Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among Young Latino Sexual Minority Men With HIV: Ecological Momentary Assessment and Electronic Pill Dispenser Study

Psychometric Properties of Measuring Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among Young Latino Sexual Minority Men With HIV: Ecological Momentary Assessment and Electronic Pill Dispenser Study

In the same year, Latino SMM accounted for 23% (n=246,097) of people with HIV in the United States [1]. Despite viral suppression being critical to prevent new cases of HIV and preserve the health of people with HIV [2], only 66% of Latino SMM with HIV in the United States achieved viral suppression in 2020, compared with 73% among non-Latino White SMM [3]. Low rates of viral suppression are partially due to suboptimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence.

Adaptation and Reach of a Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Social Marketing Campaign for Latino, Latina, and Latinx Populations: Development Study

Despite tremendous strides in HIV prevention and treatment, Latino, Latina, and Latinx (Latino/a/x) populations remain disproportionately impacted by HIV. In 2019, Latino/a/x individuals represented approximately 18% of the US population but accounted for 29% of the 34,801 new HIV diagnoses [1]. The majority of Latino/a/x persons diagnosed with HIV were sexual minority men (76% of those diagnosed).

In the United States, Latino adults are 1.5 times more likely to develop Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) compared to non-Latino White adults [2].
