Pérez-Stable. Did you know that ten percent of U.S. Latino adults identify as Afro-Latino or Black and Latino? This essay highlights the health research implications of the intersection of Black and Latino identities within the Latino population and calls for broader data analysis and more extensive research to understand the unique health needs of Afro-Latino individuals.
