Healthy Women is a project of the US-Mexico Border Health Association (USMBHA), a capacity building assistance provider funded BY CDC under program announcement 04019 – Capacity Building Assistance to Improve the Delivery and Effectiveness of HIV Prevention Services for Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations.

USMBHA receives additional support from the CDC Office of Health Disparities to implement and evaluate the Healthy Women Project.

Healthy Women is designed to:

  • Increase awareness and knowledge among Latina women about HIV/AIDS
  • Improve access to and utilization of HIV prevention services by Latinas at risk.

Dr. Jorge H. Del Pinal, Ph.D., Assistant Chief, Population Division, Special Population Statistics, for the Census Bureau was recently a guest speaker at the National Council of HEPMs February monthly meeting.

He presented a very impressive PowerPoint presentation on "Hispanic Demographics" which you and your agencies may find of interest in your efforts to conduct outreach activities with the Hispanic/Latino communities. Please note that the file does not print very well but the PowerPoint presentation is very nice and the information is very informative.
