Coping with mental health issues among older Hispanic adults

The growth of the Hispanic population has reached a historical high in the United States (U.S.) when compared to other minority groups. Hispanic older adults will account for a considerably larger portion of the Hispanic population and a significant segment of the general U.S. population. It is projected that by 2050, Hispanics will account for 19.8% of the older population in the U.S. Despite the rapid growth in the Hispanic population and the number of efforts to reduce health care disparities, Hispanic older adults continue to face substantial challenges, even more so under the current political environment.
