Tips for Searching for Latinx/Hispanic Populations in Databases

As a Medical Library Association Latinx Caucus initiative, a team of eight individuals including two search validation experts developed a set of functional and reproducible search strategies (i.e. a search hedge) focused on Hispanic/Latinx U.S. populations for 13 databases. The search hedge is currently available through the institutional repository at Temple University, TUScholarShare: MLA Latinx Caucus Lantinx/Hispanic US Population Search Hedges.   The video below is a presentation about the initiative.  

This is the PubMed search strategy for United States Populations Hispanic/Latinx.  This search is still being validated.
