Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hola: A colleague and I were just discussing the limited peer-reviewed journal avenues for publishing information regarding Latino health issues. She did a research project on an embedded population in the racing industry with some very interesting results. Reviewers tend to dismiss the publications submitted questioning why one would compare this group to NHANES or other like databases, why one would discuss potential conditions with lack of actual diagnosis among these populations (having used screening measures), and generally they reviewers show a lack of understanding about the issues in accessing the populations, issues related to avoidance of health care systems, and issues related to functioning " under the radar " , etc. Have any of you had similar experiences? Are there any journals or avenues for publishing this information so it can be shared with all of us working in this field? Your comments or advice is welcomed!
