“…Although much work with Latino communities has focused on care-seeking behaviors of Latina women, 25 Latino men are also less likely than others to seek services. 8,26 Poverty, labor conditions, racial and ethnic discrimination, and conflicting cultural and social norms may challenge Latino men's ability to seek care.…”

Little is known about immigrant Latino sexual minorities' health seeking behaviors. This study examined factors associated with perceptions of access and actual care behaviors among this population in North Carolina. Methods A community-based participatory research partnership recruited 180 Latino sexual minority men and transgender individuals within preexisting social networks to participate in a sexual health intervention. Mixed-effects logistic regression models examined factors influencing health care access perceptions and use of services (HIV testing and routine check-ups). Results Results indicate that perceptions of access and actual care behaviors are low and affected by individual and structural factors, including: years living in NC, reported poor general health, perceptions of discrimination, micro-, meso-, and macro-level barriers, and residence in a Medically Underserved Area. Discussion To improve Latino sexual minority health, focus must be placed on multiple levels, individual characteristics (e.g., demographics), clinic factors (e.g., provider competence and clinic environment), and structural factors (e.g., discrimination).

“…include disparities in insurance, income, language, transportation, mobility, and immigration status (Asamoa et al, 2004;Colby, Amoak, Kohlenburg, & Haldeman, 2005;Harris, 1999). Limited research has investigated how specific priority populations prefer to receive general health information (Kakai, Maskarinec, Shumay, Tatsumura, & Tasaki, 2003;Warner & Procaccino, 2004) but such information is not applicable to many unique, local communities.…”

Community health promotion efforts involve communicating resource information to priority populations. Which communication strategies are most effective is largely unknown for specific populations. A random dialed representative phone survey was conducted assessing current health resource community awareness, health resource utilization, and communication strategy preferences. The survey revealed that community members preferred to receive information on health resources from the Internet (28.3%), newspaper (26.4%), or mail (22.3%). Different priority populations had varying health communication strategy preferences (e.g., young adults prefer Internet, older adults prefer newspaper, and obese adults prefer mail). Ideally, if health resources are intended for adult audiences, a campaign that would include communication through newspaper (targeting older adults), mailing (targeting obese adults), and Web sites (targeting younger adults) would be the most effective approach. This research suggests that an assessment of communication strategy preferences of the priority population might be a crucial first step when developing health promotion programs.

“…Wierzbicki (2004) found immigrants have fewer strong ties outside of households compared to the native-born, thus access to services and information outside their networks may be limited. Hispanic women in the new destination, Atlanta, are found to be using less preventive health services compared to their counterparts in the established immigrant gateway of Miami because of language barriers (Asamoa et al 2004).…”
