About
the report

This report, conducted alongside Ethnifacts, was developed in three phases: a nationwide consumer survey and focus group stage, plus a physicians' and clinicians' survey. Together, it provides actionable toolkits to help industry leaders improve care for American families.

Our research is grounded in four core pillars:

  • Trust in Pharma & Healthcare Systems

    Understanding community perceptions and identifying practical pathways to rebuild trust.

  • Access to Information & Care

    Examining the systemic and everyday barriers that limit equitable healthcare access.

  • Cultural Relevance & Communication

    Elevating culturally informed messaging and engagement strategies for Hispanic youth and families.

  • The Role of Family & Community

    Mapping how healthcare decisions actually move through households and extended networks.
