Patterns of Social, Economic, And Health Challenges Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic Experienced by Latino Communities: A Latent Class Analysis
This study found that pandemic-associated challenges were highly heterogeneous among Latinos, which were variably associated with health outcomes, including depression and anxiety. Findings from the current research can inform post-pandemic resource allocation and future pandemic preparedness to address longstanding structural inequities. Continued investments are needed to address long-lasting social and economic hardship and public health issues, such as mental health, among the most vulnerable communities.
