With 70% of Latinos now US-born, we need to rethink our approach to studying #LatinoHealth. Acculturation is complex, blending cultures and affecting health outcomes.
Invest in inclusive research to better support Latino communities.

My toxic habit is that I will delete PAGES of work and start over if the vibe is wrong.
I keep saying I'll stop.
But I don't.
Maybe in 2024? – at Chicago, IL
