从2000年到2050年，美国的拉丁裔人口（美国）预计将增长273%。健康结果在拉丁美洲亚群之间差异很大，健康差异对农村居民的影响更大。通常使用的“一刀切”方法假设美国拉丁裔人口是同质的。在四个研究州的农村拉丁美洲人：亚利桑那州（AZ），加州（CA），佛罗里达（FL）和得克萨斯州（TX）是这项研究的重点。这项研究从两个方面描述了美国农村县拉丁裔人口的变化：1）按人数计算的人口变化，2）使用2000-2017年的数据按原籍国计算的人口变化。出现了以下主题：1）每个州的拉丁裔总人口都有所增长; 2）每个州的农村拉丁裔人口也有所增加，但速度更快; 3）每个州的农村拉丁裔原籍国存在各种多样性; 4）生活在农村地区的相当大比例的拉丁裔人是未知的拉丁裔人。作为农村人口中最大的种族或少数民族，以及全国第二大群体，拉丁美洲人的健康对美国医疗保健系统有着重大影响。对于护士，循证策略可以量身定制，以解决不同的拉丁裔亚群，以减少不同种族人口的具体差距。
From 2000 to 2050, the Latino population in the United States (U.S.) is expected to grow by 273%. Health outcomes vary widely among Latino subgroups and health disparities more adversely affect rural residents. The commonly used “one-size-fits-all” approach assumes that the U.S. Latino population is homogeneous. Rural Latinos in four study states: Arizona (AZ), California (CA), Florida (FL) and Texas (TX) were the focus of this study. This research describes changes in the Latino population in rural counties of the U.S. in two dimensions: 1) change in population by number, and 2) change in population by country of origin using data from 2000–2017. The following themes emerged: 1) the overall Latino population grew in each state; 2) rural Latino populations in each state also increased but at a higher rate; 3) there is a variety of diversity in the countries of origin of rural Latinos based in each state; and 4) a considerable proportion of Latinos living in rural areas are of unknown Latino origins. As the largest racial or ethnic minority in rural populations and as the second largest group in the nation, Latino health has a significant influence on the U.S. healthcare system. For nurses, evidence-based strategies can be tailored to address diverse Latino subpopulations to reduce specific disparities for various ethnic populations.
