The State of Latino Health in the District of ColumbiaThis report results from the first collaborative and community-based effort to gather and present comprehensive baseline data on D.C. Latinos' health status, knowledge and access to care as an important step toward improving Latino health in the District of Columbia. The study was conducted in 2004 by the Latino Health Care Collaborative (LHCC), which included the Council of Latino Agencies (CLA), the District of Columbia Department of Health's State Center for Health Statistics Administration (SCHSA), the George Washington University's Center for Global Health (GWU) and the community-based clinics of La Clínica del Pueblo, Mary's Center for Maternal and Child Care, and Andromeda. The LHCC is the Latino component of the SCHSA's broader District of Columbia Community Health Assessment Initiative (DC CHAI). The Para Su Salud (To Your Health) program of community workshops, which addressed critical study findings, was developed and pilot tested by the LHCC in 2005.
