Our Mission
The Latino Caucus for Public Health’s mission is to represent and advocate for the health interests of the Latino community, both within and outside the American Public Health Association, while providing leadership opportunities for students and young professionals to engage in research, policy, and advocacy efforts.
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.
