LATINO POPULATION IN MIAMI

According to the statistics of 2010 in the US, it was found that Latinos occupied

approximately 70% of the population in Miami. The latest statistics released by the Census of the

United States, indicated that Latinos have been experiencing a decline in the crude birth

rate(Census.gov, 2010). These rates of reduced child birth have been reported to be more

prevalent among women aged between 20-24 years old. This is according to an evaluation that

was carried out during the years 2007 and 2010. It is also evident that mortality rates among

infants are on the increase among the native-born Latinos. According to statistics, a Latino child

has a chance of 20% to die during birth compared to other white’s kids. This is speculated to be

due to the lack of care that these mothers are exposed to during and after pregnancy.

Additionally, these children are also believed to be more prone to death due to lower body

weight during the time of birth. Besides, it is also speculated that the mortality rate is expected to

increase due to increased number of mothers and less healthcare facility in the community

(Zevallos, Wilcox, Jean, & Acuña, 2016). The life expectancy of Latinos is estimated to be

around eighty years which is a bit higher to other races like whites and blacks. This is per the

data that was released by the Centre for disease control and prevention in the United States

(Harper, 2015). This report on life expectancy also argued that Latinos tend to look younger and

healthy compared to other whites. Additionally, it also known that they have fewer chances of

contracting the most common diseases that are prevalent in other white people.

Heart disease and cancer are considered to be the two major leading causes of deaths

among Latinos. It is recorded by the center for disease control that two out of five deaths in the

regions are as a result of these two disorders. However, this is influenced by different lifestyle

that they have adopted thus leading to development of critical diseases in their bodies (Zevallos,

Wilcox, Jean, & Acuña, 2016). The clinics and other health officers emphasize the use of

Evidence-Based Practice in giving any diagnosing to a patient. This is because several diseases

are inherited by individuals and thus getting the real details is necessary. Therefore, nurses

ensure that they work from the evidence before they can diagnose any treatment to the patient

("Belief-based and evidence-based practice", 2013). Additionally, all relevant information

collected from the sick individuals is kept confidential, and it’s only the owner who has the right

to access it. Besides, various health movements support that any decision that has to be made

pertaining sick individuals must be based on evidence. This has well been adopted by nurses

since in various healthcare within Latino they ensure that they take full details concerning the

history of a customer. The above-discussed data was enhanced by a comprehensive interview

that was conducted with ten clinical officers from different health centers in hospital Latino.
