Lessons from Two Latino Communities Working with Academic Partners to Increase Access to Covid-19 Testing
Objective: We sought to examine the experiences of community partners in a community–academic partnership to promote COVID-19 testing in two majority Latino communities. Methods: We conducted semistructured, in-depth interviews in English and Spanish with community-based organization leaders and community health workers/ promotoras ( n = 10) from June to July 2021. Interviews focused on identifying partner roles in planning and testing implementa…
Lessons from Two Latino Communities Working with Academic Partners to Increase Access to Covid-19 Testing
Community-academic partnerships that invest in strong relationships, community leadership, and a commitment to the community's preferred language offer a promising approach to addressing COVID-19 testing barriers. Findings provide direction for future research on how community members and academic partners can come together to inform strategies to continue addressing the COVID-19 pandemic
Okun’s law in Mexico
The sensitivity of unemployment to economic activity in the Mexican States (from the beginning of 2004 to the first half of 2018) was evaluated on the basis of Okun’s law (1983) as it relates to growth rates. To capture the heterogeneity of the 32 States, the results of individual regressions were compared with fixed effects panel data estimates. The Okun coefficient is significant and possesses the correct sign in 22 States, reflecting a variati…
High Parental Vaccine Motivation at a Neighborhood-Based Vaccine and Testing Site Serving a Predominantly Latinx Community
Purpose: To understand vaccine attitudes of Latinx parents highly impacted by COVID-19. Methods: In April 2021, we surveyed parents about their attitudes for COVID-19 vaccination of their children at a community-based outdoor testing/vaccination site serving predominantly low-income Latinx persons in San Francisco. Results: Among 1033 parents (75% Latinx), 92% would “definitely” or “probably” vaccinate their children. Vaccine concerns were higher…
Giving voice’ in research processes
This article seeks to illustrate how a research study that claims to be inclusive should incorporate into its development, decisions of methodological flexibility that enable voice to be given to all participants regardless of their personal conditions. The changes carried out in the techniques, procedures or in the kind of questions used in the research, illustrate how young persons can be involved in the building of scientific and academic know…
Weaving Networks
In this article, the authors describe the development of a digital training project aimed at groups at risk of social exclusion in the community of Cantabria, Spain. This project is in keeping with national and international policies—especially those designed by the European Union—that seek to develop an information society accessible for all citizens. They describe the results of two-and-one-half years of training activities that aim to bring ce…
Becoming a woman
In this article we analyse the construction processes of female subjectivities by studying the self‐descriptions that various young women give about their own image, their satisfactions and dissatisfactions and their project for life. A conclusion is drawn that the construction of these female identities cannot be separated from the discursive practices in which they are immersed, by virtue of being from an underprivileged social class, belonging…
