Latino health: an annotated research guide

Latino health: an annotated research guide Purpose – This paper seeks to provide a guide to significant primary and secondary resources relevant to the study of Latino health in the USA. It builds on prior scholarship to reflect the most valuable resources published from 1997 to 2007. Design/methodology/approach – Many materials were identified through bibliographies, online catalogs, and the worldwide web. Citation analysis, supported by book reviews published in professional and academic journals, was used to determine impact. All resources were annotated by the author after personal examination. Findings – The paper introduces each resource, describing its content and relevance to the study of Latino health. Originality/value – Latinos are among the fastest growing minorities in the USA. Although several guides address multicultural health care, few focus solely on the specific needs and issues of Latino health. Moreover, existing resource guides, both on multicultural health care and on Latinos, are at least 12 years old. This guide highlights the most recent developments about this topic. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Reference Services Review Emerald Publishing

Citation analysis, supported by book reviews published in professional and academic journals, was used to determine impact. All resources were annotated by the author after personal examination. Findings – The paper introduces each resource, describing its content and relevance to the study of Latino health. Originality/value – Latinos are among the fastest growing minorities in the USA.
