This guide contains health resources for Hispanic and Latino/Latina/Latinx individuals and their healthcare providers. Topics include:
Hispanic and Latinx communities are culturally, linguistically, and racially diverse, with people using a range of terms to describe their cultural, racial, and ethnic identities. This diversity of preference is reflected in the titles and descriptions of the resources selected for the LibGuide. (For example, if a particular resource provider uses the word "Latino" rather than "Latinx," the word "Latino" is used in the resource description.)
"The Carolina Latinx Center provides students, faculty and staff the opportunity to explore Latinx cultures, histories and tradition and to use that understanding to work across racial and ethnic communities in North Carolina and the world" (from the website).
Additional Resources (Resource Guides)
Much of the literature available in the Health Sciences Library's databases is published in English by non-Spanish-speaking authors. The librarians who worked on this guide are aware of this linguistic and cultural bias, and we have been intentional about seeking out and highlighting resources authored in Spanish by Hispanic and Latino/Latina/Latinx authors.
