In this paper, we describe insights from a formed Latinx Community Advisory Committee (LCAC) that consisted of 11 Latinx mothers of children with special needs. Three Public Health graduate students, as a part of a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) seminar, joined virtual meetings of the LCAC to hear insights into barriers and challenges of caregiving from these Latinx mothers, and the graduate students were tasked with developing a C…

Monitoring Shifts in Social Relations Among Chronically Ill Mexican Americans as a Culturally Sensitive Indicator of Depression
Chronically ill patients commonly suffer from comorbid depression that negatively influences disease trajectories, reduces patients' quality of life, and renders them less able to cope with the challenges of daily living. Among Hispanic primary care patients, depression is often not detected until severe. According to promotoras (de salud), who are female community health workers working with Mexican American patients with diabetes in Southern Ar…
A Community Health Worker Intervention to Address the Social Determinants of Health Through Policy Change

Methods. We used cross-sectional survey data for 371 CHWs to assess demographics, training, work environment, and leadership qualities on civic, political, and organizational advocacy. We present advocacy stories to further articulate CHW activities. The d…
