    Description

    The purpose of this project is to investigate the various social, financial, and civil disparities in healthcare that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases in Spanish-speaking populations. The research question is “what aspects support the disparity in cardiovascular care that Spanish speakers suffer from?”. Disparity in cardiovascular care is only one of the many health disparities Spanish speakers face, but it is one of their largest disparities in healthcare. 43% of Hispanic women and 53% of Hispanic men have a cardiovascular disease. This project aims to acknowledge some of the factors that lead to this issue, including their causes, effects, and possible solutions.
