The Latine/x/a/o population makes up 40.2% of all Texans, and Texas is home to the second largest Latine/x/a/o population in the United States. Our intersectional research focuses on the cultural protective factors that support the health, development and well-being of Latine/x/a/o populations from infancy through late adulthood and how stress manifests itself in the lives of families.
