Transforming the Narrative on Latino Populations: When & How to Use Comparison Groups in Research July 26, 2022

Initial efforts have been made to understand the needs of diverse populations by documenting disparities in outcomes of individuals from different racial and ethnic groups. However, between-group comparisons based on race and ethnicity are neither sufficient to address the root causes that result in such disparities nor always appropriate. The National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families will discuss considerations when deciding when to center research around Latino populations and when comparisons by racial and ethnic groups are most appropriate (as opposed) during the webinar.
