The experience of intimate partner violence among Latina immigrants in an emerging Latino community

Laura Macia, PhD

Latina/o immigrants living in an emerging Latino community face vulnerabilities that impact their victimization by intimate partners. Qualitative data collected through 20 in-depth interviews is presented. Out of 70 domestic grievances reported, nine where of IPV. In all of them immigration was an important factor for victimization or seeking help. Breast and Cervical Cancer Screenings: A comparison between Latinas in Wisconsin and California Natalie Guerrero; Xiao Zhang; Natalie Rhoads; Gudelia Rangel; Ana Martinez-Donate Foreign-born Latinas have higher rates of never receiving breast or cervical cancer screening, compared to U.S.-born Latinas and non-Latina Whites. We compare the rates of last 12-month breast and cervical cancer screening among four populations of Latinas and identify factors contributing to the utilization of screening among Latinas. The Beauty of Networking in Mentoring and Research Irma L. Molina-Vicenty, MD The experience and outcomes of a HSHPS sMPH2r’s mentorship team is used to demonstrate the benefits of networking in research. Networking leaded to the establishment of effective communication, facilitated financial support, helped to identify research objectives more clearly and permitted more effective translation of the research idea into practice. Description of research mentorship platform in the VA Caribbean Healthcare System (VACHS): The Introductory research Program (IRP) Irma L. Molina-Vicenty, MD; Carlos Y. Quijano-Ocasio; Veronica Farris The experience and outcomes of the VACHS IRP demonstrate the benefits of mentoring in research. It provides a formal mentoring program with a curriculum specialized in clinical research for undergraduate and graduates students searching for a clinical research experience. Pre-Medical Student Perspectives on Clinical Verse Academic Medicine Careers Sanchez JP, Espinal L, Soto-Greene M, Esteva-Sanders A Recent research indicates that underrepresented minority (URM) medical students in comparison to their peers, lack interest in academic careers, and their interest and disinterest in academia develops prior to medical school. Yet, despite medical students engaging in the pillars of academic medicine (i.e. research, education, and service) few students associated these activities with academia. Summer internships and health professional enrichment programs can help to concurrently diversify the physician and academic medicine workforces by informing trainees of activities that can support their entrée into both career paths. Prevalence of Sarcopenia and Osteopenia in Older Veterans in Puerto Rico: Association with Functional and Clinical Assessment Carlos Padilla, ISAK L-3; Irma L. Molina, MD; Walter Frontera MD, PhD; Isabel Borrás, MD; María García, PT; Alejandra García Ferré; María Frontera

Rodríguez This cross sectional descriptive study aims to identify the prevalence of sarcopenia and osteopenia in a cohort of Hispanic veteran patients, in effort to create individualized health-profiles that address patient's particular needs, through more effective and cost-effective methods while implementing preventive medicine. Impact of Bilingualism and Demographic Factors on the Age of Diagnosis of Language Impairment Maria Valicenti-McDermott, MD MS; Kathryn Hotinger, BA; Rosa Seijo, MD; Lisa Shulman, MD; Ida Baressi SLP; Nancy Tarshis SLP Children with disabilities benefit from early diagnosis and early intervention services. In an ethnic diverse population bilingual (English-Spanish) children and/or those with low level of maternal education were more likely to have a later diagnosis of Language Impairment. Identifying risk factors may allow earlier access to programs and possibly better outcomes.
