AJPH Special Issue on Latino Health

Latinos have been historically underrepresented in public health and healthcare research data, despite being the second-largest racial-ethnic group in the country. In pursuit of supporting health research on the complex fabric and multi-level influences of Latino health in the United States, the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) has released its newest supplement, “Advancing Hispanic/Latino Health Research Pa’Lante.” This groundbreaking publication, made possible with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, confronts the longstanding paucity of Latino health research by illuminating the policies, systems, structures and narratives that perpetuate Latino health inequities and reinforce oppression. It serves to amplify diverse voices of the multiplicity of Latino cultures, aspects of nativity, and intersectionality and support research that generates actionable evidence that reflects the lived experiences of Latino individuals and communities. All articles are open access, and many authors have provided Spanish language abstracts to ensure broad dissemination of knowledge in an effort to generate a more holistic understanding of Latino health for all. By elevating Latino voices and cross-disciplinary collaboration, researchers aim to elucidate the multi-level influences on Latino health outcomes, build power, influence policy change, produce actionable evidence, move toward decolonizing knowledge and expand outreach efforts to foster a more inclusive research community.
