Latinas/os are projected to become the largest ethnic group in California by 2020 and constitute a majority by 2050. Currently we comprise the largest group of residents under age 30. Despite these significant projections, there is a lack of information concerning Latinas’ attitudes and beliefs regarding reproductive and sexual health issues. In response to this gap, CLRJ in collaboration with Lake Research Partners, conducted a statewide public opinion survey of Latinas and Latinos in California. Read about Latina/o voices on these important topics, including the most marginalized immigrant voices. Find out how these findings can provide Latina/o communities with vital knowledge to inform and urge policymakers to incorporate reproductive and sexual health issues as part of their overall health policy platform.
