ABSTRACT
Caring for Latina/o/e/x, Hispanic, and/or Spanish (LHS) adolescents’ health involves challenges and strengths unique to this fast-growing ethnic minority. Through the exploration of self and ethnic identity, LHS adolescents may find themselves represented in core values to protect against the negative effects of discrimination and internalizing symptoms. In order to provide equitable health care to LHS adolescents, health care systems, educational organizations, and government agencies must educate themselves on cultural humility and the role that social determinants of health have on perpetuating poor health care outcomes for this population.
