#SaludTues 5/14: State of Latino Housing, Transportation & Green Space

Share On Social!

Where you live matters for health.

However, Latinos face unaffordable housing, unreliable public transportation, and a lack of green space, which limits access to health-promoting assets.

To drive solutions, Salud America! will unveil a new research review, “The State of Latino Housing, Transportation, and Green Space,” at the #SaludTues Tweetchat at 1 p.m. ET May 14, 2019.

The new research review will cover the latest data on how differences in housing, transportation, green space opportunities contribute to health inequities among Latinos. The review also highlights strategies and policies to improve neighborhood health equity, where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve the best health possible.
