Transformative healthcare: Determinants of preventive health disparities among young adult Hispanic women in the US.

Abstract

Transformative, culturally sensitive healthcare can improve health outcomes for Hispanic women in the U.S., especially in preventive care among young adults, to reduce breast and cervical cancer mortality. This research extends the Health Belief Model by focusing on family dynamics and health advocacy, addressing gaps in preventive care literature. It positions women's engagement in preventive care as a mediator, linking personal and family health choices to community advocacy. By addressing individual and familial barriers, the study extends understanding of how culturally sensitive care influences preventive health behaviors and provides a framework for policymakers and future targeted interventions.
