— While disparities for genetic cancer risk assessment for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer persist between Latina women and their non-Hispanic counterparts, in the United States, there are few culturally targeted interventions. Academics at the time said that the case raised all kinds of ethical and pedagogical issues. Krug’s case is arguably more complex from an academic standpoint, in that she promoted her fake identity as she was building her career as a tenured, full-time professor.

According to a Colorado State University study, Latinas are victims of a broken educational pipeline, meaning they are underrepresented in honors, advanced placement and gifted and talented programs. This disparity, the researchers argue, is not due to a lack of intellectual capabilities, but rather a deficiency in opportunities.

Multivariable models included indicator variables for the main effects of IPV exposure and Hispanic ethnicity and their interaction term to allow estimation of the relationship between lifetime IPV and current health separately for Latina and non-Latina women. In these models, the exposed group included women with any IPV since age 18 according to the BRFSS or WEB questions and the unexposed group comprised women without such histories. Generalized linear models with a log link were used to obtain prevalence ratios for dichotomous health indicators for women with a lifetime IPV history compared to women without a lifetime IPV history.

However, women had higher education rates than the Latino male immigrants, as shown in the American Immigration Council’s chart. For example, 6.2% of female immigrants in Mexico have bachelor’s degrees as compared to the 5.0% of male immigrants in 2012. 14% of the women immigrants from the Dominican Republic have bachelor’s degrees compared to the 12% of Dominican men. This autonomy is particularly important considering some researchers believe that Latinas may be particularly vulnerable to domestic violence issues.

The first 13 months of the expected values for male births and first 12 months for female births were lost to modeling. Launched in 1998, the LATINA Style Business Series is the most successful business development program for Latina Business owners in the nation. The Series has visited 136 cities with over 38,000 women participating in the program. The Series emphasis is in creating a solid business foundation that will allow Latinas to take their business to the next level. According to 2018 Census Bureau data, women with a bachelor’s degree earn 74 cents for every dollar a man with a bachelor’s degree makes.

• The study was designed in partnership with Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center, the American Cancer Society, the Tennessee Breast and Cervical Screening Program and the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center Office of Community Outreach and Engagement.
• More than 90% of participants were recruited through community outreach efforts alone, and none of them had previously received regular mammography screenings.
• Fourth, our hypothesis and study design only considered the 2016 election as a key environmental stressor.

An additional methodological limitation was that our comparison intervention also focused on HIV, rather than serving as a true placebo to guard against Hawthorne effects. Thus, future HIV prevention trials would benefit from inclusion of a time-equivalent comparison condition that focuses on a topic other than HIV prevention but addresses a relevant and important health issue for Latina women. We relied on self-report data, had a relatively short follow-up, were unable to assess condom use by partner type, and lacked objective and quantifiable biological outcomes, such as incident sexually transmitted infections, to assess intervention efficacy. Future trials of HIV interventions conducted with ethnically diverse samples of Latina women would benefit by addressing these limitations. The efficacy of AMIGAS may also be partly attributable to inclusion of Latina women and integration of Latina cultural values in all facets of the study, from the conceptualization, adaptation, and implementation of the intervention to the recruitment and retention of participants and study evaluation.

organization, said that mental health issues were why she’d created a fake Native American identity on Twitter that frequently defended her against criticism. McLaughlin killed off the alter ego, saying that she’d died of COVID-19, before she was outed. But she said discussions about Krug’s background were sparked in part by the recent revelation that late Cuban writer H. G. Carrillo was not actually Cuban at all, but rather born to a non-Latinx Black family in Detroit. Following a marathon of deceit, Jessica Krug, associate professor of history at George Washington University, admitted Thursday that she is white and not Black, as she had long claimed.

Mrs. Trinidad Cabeza de Baca, whose family owned one of the first autos in the city, lent hers to the cause. She was joined by a number of other Hispanic women, including Dolores “Lola” Armijo, Mrs. James Chavez, Aurora Lucero, Anita (Mrs. Secundino) Romero, Arabella (Mrs. Cleofas) Romero and her daughter, Marie. In 2017, Hispanic high school students were 50 percent more likely to be obese as compared to non-Hispanic white youth.

One of this year’s sponsors is the Latino Economic Development Center, so these women can have a chance to figure out if this is something they can grow,” she said. The event, also called Mujeres Latinas Expo, is celebrating its fifth year. It’s an opportunity to provide important resources to Spanish-speaking women, said event organizer Beatriz Martinez, who has been working in outreach and community engagement for 17 years.

After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the ability for Cubans to immigrate with their families became limited as a result of strained US-Cuba relations. This led to Cubans use of flotillas in order to make it to the southern coast of Florida. The 1970s marked the first decade in which a gender shift occurred in Mexican migration. During this time, more single women and more families began to migrate along with the working males who had already been migrating for several decades. This difference in gender migration is largely attributed to the difference in Latino and Latina work opportunities in the United States.
