Abstract:

The Latinx audience is an increasingly important demographic for all television networks because they represent the fastest-growing U.S. minority. Therefore, producers attempt to target Latinx viewers who are more likely to watch the programs with their on-screen representation. This article examines how Hispanic women are portrayed in the comedy-drama series Devious Maids (Marc Cherry, 2013–2016). The first section presents the historical perspective of the ethnic typecasting for the roles of domestic workers in American motion pictures, accentuating the switch when Hispanic characters replac

Abstract:

This study examined differences in the attitudes of professional social workers regarding corporal punishment and the perception and reporting of child maltreatment, according to the worker’s ethnic group membership (Asian, Black American, Black Caribbean, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White). Data were obtained by mailed questionnaires from 808 members of the New York City chapter of NASW. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance. Results indicate that approval of corporal punishment and perception of maltreatment differed according to ethnic group membership. However, ethnicity had no effect

Abstract:

Chronically ill patients commonly suffer from comorbid depression that negatively influences disease trajectories, reduces patients' quality of life, and renders them less able to cope with the challenges of daily living. Among Hispanic primary care patients, depression is often not detected until severe. According to promotoras (de salud), who are female community health workers working with Mexican American patients with diabetes in Southern Arizona, depression is commonly undiagnosed in their communities.

Abstract It is no surprise to many that the impact of Covid-19 on older adults, particularly LGBTQ and people of color has been detrimental, not just physically, but mentally, socially, and economically. Many African American/Black adults have suffered disproportionately during the pandemic.

Abstract Social inequalities over the life course shape later life opportunities and outcomes in important ways. However, research on paid and unpaid work in later life has not always captured (and has sometimes mischaracterized) the variety and complexity of lived experiences in later life—in particular for low-income workers, workers of color, women, and others marginalized due to their social position. Further, statistics often obscure the most important information: how the most marginalized older workers are faring. Intersectionality, a term coined by legal scholar, Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw,

METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Hispanics in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV, South Texas) are burdened with high rates of diabetes and obesity, and interventions have been identified for these conditions, but there is less information about strategies that may help impro

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of social deprivation on preoperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes following hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Methods: Patients undergoing primary HA for FAIS were identified and their social deprivation index (SDI) score was assigned based on provided zip code. Quartiles (Q1-Q4) were established using national percentiles, with Q4 representing areas of greatest deprivation. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were collected preoperatively and at minimum 2-year follow-up. C

Abstract Introduction Community health workers (CHWs) are vital in bridging the gap between healthcare systems, researchers, and underserved communities. Due to their trusted roles, cultural familiarity, and ability to deliver accurate health information, CHWs offer great promise in sleep health promotion. We aim to understand perceptions of healthy sleep, barriers to sleep, and beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in communities of color.

Introduction: A 2010 qualitative research study by the Journal of the Health Care for the Underserved validates the finding that African Americans are suspicious of health care programs that are targeted specifically for African American as they believe that the system would have ill-intent.

Abstract According to the Legal Services Corporation, each year, 56% of older adults have at least one civil legal problem yet 87% receive inadequate or no professional legal help for their civil legal problems. Unmet legal needs can have cascading catastrophic effects on the health and well-being of older adults. To address this, we took the innovative approach of creating a Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) within a community based social service agency on aging.

Abstract:

This article studies the earnings gap between Mexican, Hispanic and non-Hispanic white male workers resulting from changes in both the wage structure and immigration laws that occurred during the 1980s. Our results suggest that Mexican and Hispanic workers were adversely affected by these two changes. Using data from the 1980 and 1990 One Percent Public Use Microdata Samples, we show that these “at-risk” workers minimized the negative impact of the increases in the returns to skill by gaining in the non-Hispanic white residual wage distribution.

Abstract Purpose: Tumor genomic testing and cancer clinical trial enrollment provide key access to precision cancer therapeutics and supportive care options to enhance the patient experience. However, physician and patient barriers limit participation of patients who are historically underrepresented in genomic studies and clinical trials [historically underrepresented patients (HUP)], thereby decreasing generalizability for those most negatively affected by cancer diagnosis. We interviewed patients to identify factors impacting genomic testing uptake and clinical trial enrollment. Methods: Fr
