Latino Center for Health-affiliated faculty Drs. Barbara Baquero, Carmen Gonzalez, Maggie Ramirez, and India Ornelas, along with a member of LCH’s student advisory committee doctoral student Erica Chavez, published an article in the peer-reviewed journal Health Education & Behavior last month. The article, titled Understanding and Addressing Latinx
COVID-19 Disparities in Washington State, describes key factors contributing to COVID-19-related health inequities faced by Latinx communities in WA and provides recommendations for how to address them.
Based on this peer-reviewed article, Dr. Baquero et al. also published an op-ed in the Seattle Times last month, highlighting the importance of focusing on the health needs of those most in need, including Latinx communities. You can read the article here.
