La Promesa: 20% of Spanish speakers living in Latino communities fail to seek medical treatment due to language barriers.  Latino populations are also more likely to be under- or uninsured than other minority groups, while Latino females are the least likely to receive vital preventative services-such as screening for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and sexually transmitted diseases-and have the highest growing rate of teen pregnancy nationally. These factors significantly compromise healthcare quality and accessibility for Hispanics.
