In 1980, a majority of Latino children were "third or higher generation" -- the U.S.-born sons or daughters of U.S.-born parents.<br /> <br />A Pew Hispanic Center analysis of U.S. Census data indicates that many social, economic and demographic characteristics of Latino children vary by their generational status. First and second generation Latino children are less likely than third or higher generation children to be fluent in English and to have parents who completed high school. They are more likely to live in poverty. But they are less likely than third or higher generation Latino children to live in single parent households. <br /> <br />Another characteristic that separates Latino children along generational lines is their legal status. Building on earlier research, the Pew Hispanic Center estimates that fewer than one-in-ten of all Hispanic children are unauthorized immigrants. However, about one quarter have one or more parents who is an unauthorized immigrant.<br /> <br />Pew Hispanic Center population projections indicate that the generational composition of Hispanic children will change yet again between now and 2025. The share of Hispanic children who are second generation is projected to peak soon, while the share of Hispanic children who are third generation or higher will begin to rise in the coming decade. <br /> <br /> <br />The report, "Latino Children: A Majority Are U.S.-Born Offspring of Immigrants", authored by Richard Fry, Senior Research Associate, Pew Hispanic Center, and Jeffrey S.

Once a largely white enclave, suburban school districts in 2007 educated a student population that was 41.4% non-white, up from 28% in 1993.<br /> <br />Despite the sharp rise in the racial and ethnic diversity of suburban district enrollments overall, there has been only a modest increase in the racial and ethnic diversity of student populations at the level of the individual suburban school. For example, in 2007, the typical white suburban student attended a school which had a 75% white student body; in 1993, this same figure had been 83%.<br /> <br />When it comes to changes in the geographic locus of minority education, the suburbs are where most of the action has been over the past decade and a half. In 1993 city school districts educated a majority of the nation's minority students. That is no longer the case. The movement of minority students into suburban schools has had the overall effect of slightly reducing levels of ethnic and racial segregation throughout the nation's 93,430 public schools.<br /> <br />The report also examines the changes since 1993 in individual suburban school districts. It lists the suburban school districts that have had the fastest growth in minority enrollment, as well as those with the highest levels of racial/ethnic segregation.<br /><br /><br />The report, "The Rapid Growth and Changing Complexion of Suburban Public Schools," authored by Richard Fry, Senior Research Associate, Pew Hispanic Center, is available at the Pew Hispanic Center's website, www.pewhispanic.org.<br /><br />The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, is a nonpartisan, non-advocacy research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-11584845076950007402009-01-15T08:34:00.001-08:002009-01-15T08:34:49.992-08:00Hispanics and the New Administration: Immigration Slips as a Priority; Latinos Optimistic About Obama (Pew Hispanic Center)A year and a half after a lengthy, often rancorous debate over immigration reform filled the chambers of a stalemated Congress, the issue appears to have receded in importance among one of the groups most affected by it-Latinos. Only three-in-ten (31%) Latinos rate immigration as an "extremely important" issue facing the incoming Obama administration, placing it sixth on a list of seven policy priorities that respondents were asked to assess in a nationwide survey of 1,007 Latino adults conducted from December 3 through December 10, 2008, by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. The top-rated issue among Latinos is the economy; some 57% of Hispanics say it is an "extremely important" one for the new president to address.<br /> <br />Looking forward, Hispanics are optimistic about the incoming Obama Administration. More than seven-in-ten (72%) say they expect Obama to have a successful first term. Looking back, Latinos offer a negative assessment of the outgoing Bush Administration. More than half (54%) of Latinos say that the failures of the Bush Administration will outweigh its successes. In comparison, 64% of the U.S. general population holds the same view.<br /> <br />The latest report from the Pew Hispanic Center also examines the ways Latinos were involved in the historic 2008 presidential campaign such as using the Internet to research a candidate, trying to persuade someone else to vote for or against a particular party, and displaying material or wearing clothing related to a political campaign.<br />The report, Hispanics and the New Administration: Immigration Slips as a Priority,<br />authored by Mark Hugo Lopez, Associate Director, and Gretchen Livingston, Senior Researcher, is available at the Pew Hispanic Center's website, www.pewhispanic.org. <br /><br />The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, is a nonpartisan, non-advocacy research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-61524356523483403462009-01-08T08:48:00.000-08:002009-01-08T08:49:02.040-08:00Hispanics and the Economic Downturn: Housing Woes and Remittance Cuts (from the Pew Hispanic Center)Like the U.S. population as a whole, Latinos are feeling the sting of the economic downturn. Almost one-in-ten (9%) Latino homeowners say they missed a mortgage payment or were unable to make a full payment and 3% say they received a foreclosure notice in the past year, according to a new national survey of 1,540 Latino adults conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. Moreover, more than six-in-ten (62%) Latino homeowners say there have been foreclosures in their neighborhood over the past year, and 36% say they are worried that their own home may go into foreclosure. This figure rises to 53% among foreign-born Latino homeowners.<br /> <br />The survey also finds that the economic downturn has had an impact on the amount of money that Latinos sent to relatives or others in their country of origin in the past year. Among Hispanic immigrants who sent remittances in the last two years, more than seven-in-ten (71%) say they sent less in 2008 than in the prior year. <br /> <br />Latinos hold a more negative view of their own current personal financial situation than does the general U.S. population. More than three-in-four (76%) Latinos, and 84% of foreign-born Latinos, say their current personal finances are in either fair or poor shape, while 63% of the general U.S. population says the same. <br /> <br />As a result of current economic conditions, many Latinos are adjusting their economic behaviors. More than seven-in-ten (71%) report that they cut back spending on eating out. More than two-thirds (67%) planned to curtail holiday spending. Over one-fourth (28%) report that they helped a family member or friend with a loan. <br />The report, authored by Mark Hugo Lopez, Associate Director, Gretchen Livingston, Senior Researcher, and Rakesh Kochhar, Associate Director for Research, is available at the Pew Hispanic Center's website, www.pewhispanic.org. <br />The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, is a nonpartisan, non-advocacy research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-17850340329649144472008-12-15T07:33:00.000-08:002008-12-15T07:34:46.187-08:00Immigrant Latino Workers and the Recession (from the Pew Hispanic Center)A small but significant decline has occurred during the current recession in the share of Latino immigrants active in the U.S. labor force, according to a new analysis of Census Bureau data by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. Workers who are employed or looking for work are said to be active in the labor market.<br /> <br />The proportion of working-age Latino immigrants active in the labor force has fallen, at least through the third quarter of 2008, while the proportion of all non-Hispanics as well as of native-born Hispanics has held steady. Among Hispanic immigrants, the decrease is sharpest among those from Mexico and those who arrived in the U.S. since 2000. Also, the increase in the number of foreign-born Latinos in the labor force is much smaller than previous years.<br /> <br />The labor market data do not paint an unrelentingly negative picture for Hispanic immigrants. The estimated increase in their unemployment rate is not as high as the increase for native-born Hispanic workers. Also, median weekly wages fell for native-born Hispanics but not for foreign-born workers. These developments, however, could be an artifact, a consequence of the likely withdrawal of low-wage foreign-born Hispanics from the labor force.<br /> <br />The report, "Latino Workers in the Ongoing Recession: 2007 to 2008," authored by Rakesh Kochhar, Associate Director for Research, is available at the Pew Hispanic Center's website, www.pewhispanic.org.<br />The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, is a nonpartisan, non-advocacy research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-80180341655433911452008-12-14T07:46:00.000-08:002008-12-14T07:49:18.925-08:00New undergraduate scholarship (from the National Alliance for Hispanic Health)The National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance) has recently established the Alliance/Merck Ciencia (Science) Hispanic Scholars Program, a new partnership to improve Hispanic student access to higher education and degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Experts in the fields of child trauma research, clinical practice, policy and cultural diversity worked together to create these guidelines that addresses a number of key priority areas to fit the needs of traumatized Latino children and families. The priority areas range from micro issues (Assessment and Provision of Therapy) to macro issues (Organizational Competence and Policy).

Since then, leaders on both sides of the aisle have been talking about how the record turnout of Asian, Latino, and New American voters was integral in the both the presidential and congressional victories. <br /> <br />The Immigration Policy Center has released a comprehensive report merging the compelling data from various organizations on the Asian, Latino, and New American vote into one document with a united narrative: Asians, Latinos, and New Americans make up a critical new voting bloc-one with which immigrant-bashing equals a losing strategy for candidates seeking election. The report summarizes early, exit and election-day polling showing how many and why these voters turned out at a record rate and provides insight into how the immigration debate swayed their vote. The report concludes with early signals from the general American public, new administration and Congress on how they see the future of immigration reform playing out. <br /> <br />To view the report visit www.ImmigrationPolicy.org. <br /><br />Also, visit the IPC blog to learn more about immigration and the 2008 election at www.ImmigrationImpact.com.<br /> <br />### <br /> <br />For more information contact: <br />Wendy Sefsaf, 202-507-7524 or email wsefsaf@ailf.org<br />Andrea Nill, 202-507-7520 or email anill@ailf.orgDavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-10900049347787195092008-12-02T09:10:00.000-08:002008-12-02T09:11:24.541-08:00Call for Applications for the NCRECE Research Mentoring Program for Minority ScholarsThe National Center for Research on Early Childhood Education (NCRECE) is sponsoring a fellowship program in 2009-2010 for research training and publication for up to five teaching or research faculty or postdoctoral researchers from underrepresented groups. The focus of the program is on secondary analysis of existing data sets that can be used to address issues of importance in the field of education, applied developmental psychology, child development, and related fields, with an emphasis on early childhood education. One of the Center's current foci of research is English language learning (available data sets include a large number of Spanish-speaking English Language learners); therefore, we especially encourage applicants with interests in that area.<br /><br />The NCRECE fellowship program will provide mentoring experiences in writing articles for publication from large-scale, national samples data sets on early childhood education. The fellows will have access to large nationally representative data sets and an ongoing year-long association including up to three face-to-face working sessions with senior investigators who will provide mentorship. The available data sets are: NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development and NCEDL SWEEP. In addition the fellowship will provide for travel to the 2010 AERA meeting and a small stipend of $12000 to cover research expenses.<br /><br />The fellows will be matched according to research interests with an NCRECE investigator (M. Burchinal, C. Howes, J. Downer, A. Williford, S. Field). The mentor will provide assistance in refining of research questions, data analysis, and preparation of presentations and manuscripts towards the end goal of developing a line of programmatic research.<br /><br />Mentoring visits will happen at the home campus of the mentors. The Fellowship provides funds (travel, lodging, meals) for up to three visits. These working sessions will provide NCRECE Scholars with detailed background on the selected data sets in terms of design, methodologies, measurement, and constructs toward the end of linking scholars' interests to the capacities of these data sets to address questions related to their interests. The scholars are expected to bring to the working sessions a set of identified research questions. They should expect to do background reading enabling them to make good use of the session for the purposes of forming an analysis data set and analysis plan. Scholars also should be prepared to periodically send drafts of their work to the mentor for critiquing. All of the scholars and mentors will meet together during the 2010 AERA meeting.<br /><strong><br />Application procedures:</strong><br /><br />The applicants should write a 3-page cover letter outlining their research interests and goals. Specifically this letter should outline their plan for professional development using this experience, a brief conceptual overview of the work they want to conduct with these data sets, the research questions they intend to examine, and the methods in which they are proficient analytically. They should provide a Curriculum Vitae and a statement of support for their institution including the computing software and hardware available for this analysis. Two letters of reference should be provided.<br /><br />Applications are due May 1, 2009. (See application form for address and other contact information.)<br /><br /><strong>Eligibility requirements:</strong><br /><br />The scholar should be in the field of English language learning, early childhood education, applied developmental psychology, child development, or a related field and have a full-time faculty or research appointment at a university. The scholar should belong to an ethnic/racial group currently underrepresented in national faculty ranks. This is defined as membership in one or more of the following groups whose under representation in the American professoriate has been severe and longstanding: Alaska Natives (Eskimo/Aleut); Black/African Americans; Hispanic/Latino; Native American Indians; Native Pacific Islanders (Polynesian/Micronesian).<br /><br />Please see our website for application information:<br /><br />http://www.ncrece.org/wordpress/products/research-mentoring-program-for-minority-scholars/Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-19091690826635270162008-12-02T09:01:00.000-08:002008-12-02T09:03:01.663-08:00RWJF Launches $44 Million Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities ProgramAs the first investment of a new $44 million initiative, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has awarded grants of up to $400,000 to nine communities across the country that will serve as leading sites for its most ambitious effort yet to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic.<br /><br />Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities will support local action to increase opportunities for physical activity and access to healthy, affordable foods for children and families. The goal is to catalyze policy and environmental changes that can make a lasting difference and be replicated nationally.<br /><br />The leading sites are Chicago; Columbia, Mo.; Louisville, Ky.; Seattle; Somerville, Mass.; Washington; and Baldwin Park, Central Valley and Oakland in California. All will serve as mentors when the initiative expands next year to approximately 60 more communities.<br /><br />RWJF already has released a call for proposals for that second round of funding, which will award grants of up to $360,000. Partnerships from across the United States and its territories are eligible to apply, but preference will be given to applicants from 15 states with particularly high prevalence of or risk for childhood obesity: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. The deadline for brief proposals is February 3.<br />Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities is a major part of RWJF's five-year, $500 million commitment to reverse the epidemic in the United States by 2015.<br /><br /><a href= http://recp.rm02.net/ctt?m=1291238&r=NTE2Mjc1MjE1MAS2&b=0&j=MTQzNTg4NjAyS0&k=Link2&kt=1&kd=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rwjf.org%2Fchildhoodobesity%2Fproduct.jsp%3Fid%3D36348%26c%3DEMC-CA138>Learn more. </a>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-46864019103574788172008-12-01T07:43:00.001-08:002008-12-02T08:54:46.673-08:00LIVE Webcast: Today's Topics In Health Disparities (from kaisernetwork.org)LIVE Webcast: Today's Topics In Health Disparities <br />Are Health Disparities Back on the National Agenda? <br />Examining the Impact of a New Administration and Congress <br />Tuesday, December 9, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br /><br />With a new administration and substantially changed Congress coming to Washington in January, there is a significant opportunity for new policy initiatives to tackle issues of racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care.

Learns a free Web site to help immigrants learn English. The Web site which is located at www.USALearns.org and provides approximately 11 million adults who have low levels of English proficiency with accessible free English language training.<br /><br />U.S.A. Learns was an outgrowth of a project that was conceived by the U.S. Department of Education (ED), Office of Vocational and Adult Education, Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL). Core funding for U.S.A. Learns was provided by ED. Additional funding for U.S.A. Learns was made available by the California Department of Education, Office of Adult Education.<br /><br />DAEL promotes programs that help American adults get the basic skills they need to be productive workers, family members, and citizens. The major areas of support are Adult Basic Education, Adult Secondary Education, and English Language Acquisition. These programs emphasize basic skills such as reading, writing, math, English language competency and problem-solving.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-50845573635113053812008-11-25T11:00:00.000-08:002008-11-25T11:01:31.402-08:00From the Commonwealth Fund: Racial Disparities in Health Care: New Evidence of an Old ProblemRacial Disparities in Health Care: New Evidence of an Old Problem<br /><br />Two recent studies supported by The Commonwealth Fund provide additional evidence that racial disparities in health care continue to be a serious concern. The findings suggest that any comprehensive health reform effort that seeks to improve both access and quality will need to address the problem head-on.<br /><br />Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Treatment of Dementia Among Medicare Beneficiaries. Journal of Gerontology.<br />In this study of 1,120 Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with dementia, a research team led by the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy's Ilene H. Zuckerman, Pharm.D., Ph.D., found that use of anti-dementia medications among non-Hispanic whites during the period 2001-2003 was approximately 30 percent higher than among members of other racial and ethnic groups. An estimated 3.4 million Medicare beneficiaries have Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia--a chronic disease with a worldwide societal cost of more than $315 billion. Previous studies have found that dementia is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed among African Americans, Latinos, and other ethnic groups, despite evidence that the condition may be more prevalent in minorities.<br /><br />Racial Disparities in Access to Long-Term Care: The Illusive Pursuit of Equity. Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law.<br />In 2000, use of nursing homes among African Americans, which previously lagged behind whites, was 14 percent higher than it was among whites, according to this study of 14,374 U.S. nursing homes. The reversal, however, masks another inequity: the lower quality of facilities predominantly used by African Americans, and the shift among whites toward the use of private-pay alternatives, such as home care and assisted living. To ensure equity in access to high quality nursing home care, the authors recommend more attention to correcting geographic disparities in access, the financial disparities in Medicaid and private pay reimbursement, and broader systemwide accountability for the discharge and placement patterns of hospitals and other medical providers. <br /> <br />======================================<br /><br /><br /> The Commonwealth Fund is a private foundation that aims to promote a high performing health care system that achieves better access, improved quality, and greater efficiency.

One-third of the Ventura County population in 2005 was Hispanic, and the group made up 60% of new AIDS cases that year, according to the Ventura County AIDS Partnership, which is launching the campaign. The subject of HIV/AIDS is sometimes considered taboo in the Hispanic community, the Star reports.<br /><br />Cultural norms, taboos and myths about HIV/AIDS contribute to the spread of the disease in the Hispanic communities across the nation, according to Jesus Torres, social marketing chair of the partnership. Madhu Bajaj, executive director of the group, said he was prompted by results of local surveys, focus groups and other research to begin the initiative, called Cuidate, which means "take care" in Spanish. As part of the effort, the group is running newspaper advertisements beginning this week and lasting through February. The task force also will start training groups that teach others how to talk openly about HIV/AIDS and will first target mothers and teenage daughters.<br /><br />"Our campaign tag is 'Let's start the conversation,'" Bajaj said, adding "There's a stigma. There's a silence" about HIV/AIDS in the Hispanic community. Torres said, "With this campaign, we will give the tools, resources and know-how to our Latino community so that they may protect their health" (Ventura County Star, 11/21).Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-4929780912657802972008-11-21T11:39:00.000-08:002008-11-21T11:40:20.028-08:00From kaisernetwork.org: 2. Texas, Florida Facing Physician Shortages; Hispanics Largely AffectedTexas will need an additional 40,000 doctors by 2025 to keep up with a growing population, particularly among Hispanics, the San Antonio Express-News reports. About 20,000 of the 37,000 doctors currently practicing in Texas will have retired or left their practices over the next 17 years, Karl Eschbach, state demographer and director of the Institute of Demographic and Socioeconomic Research, said Thursday at the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Third Annual Healthcare Summit.<br /><br />Access to care is a particularly "dire" issue for Hispanics, who have limited access to physicians because they are mostly employed by small businesses and are uninsured, the Express-News reports. Hispanics make up the largest group of uninsured people in Texas border cities. About 66% of Hispanic workers are employed by companies that provide employer-sponsored health insurance, Roland Angel, professor of sociology at the University of Texas-Austin, said. In comparison, more than 80% of blacks and whites have employer-sponsored health insurance (Poling, San Antonio Express-News, 11/14).<br /><br />As Central Florida faces a physician shortage, some hospitals are recruiting physicians directly from Puerto Rico "because Puerto Rican doctors know Spanish" and "they are a good cultural fit for Metro Orlando," which has a large Hispanic population, the Orlando Sentinel reports. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, an estimated 455,592 Hispanics live in the area.<br /><br />Jorge Lopez -- president of Florida Emergency Physicians, who recruits physicians for the Florida Hospital System -- has traveled many times to Puerto Rico to recruit physicians. He said, "What we try to do is identify those who have already decided to leave. And when we go, we're lucky if we can recruit one or two because there are so many other hospitals competing for them." He added, "They are very competent doctors with fantastic hands-on experience. They are American citizens and bilingual. It's one of our favorite places to recruit"<br /><br />The American Association of Family Physicians reports that Florida must increase its physician population by 63% over the next 15 years in order to meet demands of a growing number of aging baby boomers. In addition, 40% of the state's current physician population are age 55 or older and will reach retirement age at a time when fewer medical students are choosing to practice primary care medicine, according to the Sentinel. Other medical specialties also are facing shortages and fewer U.S. students are graduating from medical school.<br /><br />Experts estimate that the nationwide physician shortage could be 200,000 by 2010; at the same time, the patient population is expected to increase by 24%. Puerto Rico is facing its own physician shortage. The island also does not have enough hospitals to meet demand and other facilities are in poor physical condition. Coupled with undesirable socioeconomic conditions, low wages and few to no benefits, many physicians are willing to leave, according to the Sentinel (Rivera-Lyles, Orlando Sentinel, 11/16).Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-63205984667672050512008-11-20T13:12:00.000-08:002008-11-20T13:13:25.095-08:00Pew Hispanic Center Releases 2007 National Survey of Latinos DatasetWASHINGTON - The Pew Hispanic Center today released the 2007 National Survey of Latinos (NSL07) dataset.

The Immigration Policy Center (IPC) is pleased to announce the launching of its new blog, Immigration Impact (www.ImmigrationImpact.com). Immigration Impact was developed to help reshape the immigration debate in a way that will bring us closer to comprehensive immigration reform. The blog will provide thoughtful and rapid-response commentaries and insights on the latest news and events so that you can be up-to-date with what's going on with the immigration debate. <br /><br />"The misleading messages coming from an increasingly large number of anti-immigrant blogs demand an honest and informative response from their counterparts in the blogosphere," says IPC director and Immigration Impact contributor, Angela Kelley. "We're joining the blogosphere to tell the other side of the story and counter these attacks with arguments based in fact, research, and in-depth analysis." <br /><br />Writers currently include Dr. Michele Waslin and Dr. Walter Ewing-two leading researchers and policy analysts in the immigration field. Notable and longstanding immigration advocates Benjamin Johnson and Angela Kelley will also serve as regular contributors. The Immigration Policy Center welcomes guest-contributions from reputable writers, bloggers, and advocates in the field. <br /><br /><br /><br /># # #<br /><br />For more information contact Andrea Nill, 202-507-7520 or email anill@ailf.org<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Immigration Policy Center (IPC), established in 2003, is the policy arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation.

The report finds that 8% of the electorate was Latino, unchanged from 2004.<br /><br />Nationwide, the Latino vote was significantly more Democratic this year than in 2004, when President Bush captured an estimated 40% of the Hispanic vote, a modern high for a Republican presidential candidate (1). Obama carried the Latino vote by sizeable margins in all states with large Latino populations. His biggest breakthrough came in Florida, where he won 57% of the Latino vote. President Bush carried 56% of the Latino vote in Florida in 2004. Obama's margins were much larger in other states with big Latino populations. He carried 78% in New Jersey, 76% of the Latino vote in Nevada, 74% in California, and 73% in Colorado. This report contains an analysis of exit poll results for the Latino vote nationally and in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico and Texas.<br /><br />The report is available on the Center's website at <a href="http://www.pewhispanic.org/">www.pewhispanic.org</a>. <br /><br />The Pew Hispanic Center, an initiative of the Pew Research Center, is a nonpartisan, non-advocacy research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.<br /> ______________________________<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">(1)There is continuing uncertainty over whether President Bush received 40% of the Hispanic vote in 2004, as indicated by exit polls in the 50 states and the District of Columbia conducted on Election Day, or 44%, as indicated by the nationwide National Election Pool exit poll. Reasons for the differing estimates are spelled out in "Hispanics and the 2004 Election: Population, Electorate and Voters," by Roberto Suro, Richard Fry and Jeffrey Passel (2005).</span>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135463639026018492.post-74904562482810037842008-11-01T09:02:00.000-07:002008-11-01T09:06:22.860-07:00From kaisernetwork.org: Hispanics Have More Risk Factors For Developing Alzheimer's Disease Than Other Groups, Research SuggestsThe <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/21/us/21alzheimers.html" target="_new">New York Times</a> on Tuesday examined research that found "many Hispanics may have more risk factors for developing dementia than other groups" and that a "significant number appear to be getting Alzheimer's earlier" than most U.S. residents, who commonly develop the disease in their 70s or 80s. According to the <a href="http://www.alz.org/index.asp" target="_new">Alzheimer's Association</a>, about 200,000 Hispanics in the U.S. have the condition but the number could increase to 1.3 million by 2050. "This is the tip of the iceberg of a huge public health challenge," Yanira Cruz, president of the <a href="http://www.nhcoa.org/" target="_new">National Hispanic Council on Aging</a>, said, adding, "We really need to do more research in this population to really understand why it is that we're developing these conditions much earlier."<br /><br />Overall, the number of U.S. residents with Alzheimer's is expected to increase from five million in 2008 to 16 million in 2050. According to experts, Hispanics are not more genetically predisposed to Alzheimer's but factors related to low income or cultural dislocation -- such as higher rates of diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, stroke and high blood pressure -- may put them at a higher risk for dementia. Cruz said the immigration experience, along with the changes in diet and social network that it entails, could play a role in increased the risk of Alzheimer's. She said, "As you acculturate, you lose those protective factors linked to nutrition, physical activity [and a] social support system that come with you when you first arrive here."<br /><br />According to the Times, less education also could make this group more vulnerable to risk factors and to dementia because, scientists say, education may increase the plasticity of the brain and its ability to compensate for symptoms. Some research also cites stress related to financial troubles or cultural adjustment as risk factors for dementia. In addition, Hispanics, who are less likely to see doctors because of financial and language barriers, often mistake the symptoms of dementia as a result of aging, according to the Times. "There's some taboos," Liany Arroyo, director of the <a href="http://www.nclr.org/content/programs/detail/1452/" target="_new">Institute for Hispanic Health</a> at the National Council of La Raza, said, adding that surveys his group completed indicated that some Hispanics "do not necessarily understand" what Alzheimer's is.<br /><br />Alzheimer's and Hispanic groups have responded to such findings by setting up health fairs and support groups, the Times reports. Some Alzheimer's centers have opened offices in Hispanic neighborhoods, according to the Times (Belluck, New York Times, 10/21).Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09177027234841964191noreply@blogger.com0
