Preferred Panethnic Terms Among Latina/o and Hispanic Sexual and Gender Minority People
In this cross-sectional study with a qualitative analysis of an open-ended question, there was no clear consensus on preferred panethnic terms, and participants' rationales indicated that personal, cultural, and linguistic factors related to identity and belonging influenced their preferences. Using panethnic terms in research, community engagement, and communication should be culturally relevant and context-specific.
