Latino/a/x populations are diverse, and one area of diversity is by race. For this study we are interested in learning from the perspectives of Black Latin Americans in the United States (Afro-Latinos) to understand their experiences in the U.S. This includes what stress they face, how that stress affects their health (physical, mental), and experiences with the healthcare system.
You will complete the study in one visit. If you participate in the individual interviews, you will be asked several questions about your health experiences and your experiences as an Afro-Latino/a/x in the United States. The interview will last between 1-2 hours, and be done in-person or over the phone. If you participate in the focus group interview, you will be asked questions about your general experiences living as an Afro-Latino/a/x adult in the United States in a room of your peers (4-5 others). The focus group interviews can last between 2-4 hours. Participación en el estudio sera completada en una visita.
