Objectives:
- Describe the socio economic demographic characteristics of the Latino community in Washington DC
- Determine and analyze the barriers to health care access of the Latino community in Metro Washington DC
- Create a validated needs assessment tool that can be used in similar communities in the United States
Project Summary:
The Latino community in the United States has rapidly grown and chanted in diversity in recent decades. This is particularly true for the community in Washington DC. A survey of the youth and parents examining the different barriers to care will be performed at the Children’s Health Center at Adams Morgan and at the Children’s National Health Systems Emergency Room Department. The information gathered through the survey will be augmented through interviews with allied health care providers and focus groups with parents and youth.
