“New research presented at the National Council of La Raza Annual Conference reveals barriers to good sexual and reproductive health among Latino couples in the US. These barriers include inadequate education, lack of insurance, limited access to health care and cultural barriers.(1) One consequence is that some Latina women resort to family planning without their partner’s knowledge and feel the entire family planning process rests solely on them.(1) With 54 percent of Latino pregnancies unplanned, compared to 40 percent of white/non-Hispanic pregnancies , there is a need to address the barriers to better reproductive health knowledge and practices. “
