WASHINGTON, May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Very few Hispanics are aware of lupus even though Hispanic women are among those with a higher prevalence of the disease," said Dr. Jane Delgado, President and CEO, of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health (The Alliance), the nation's leading Hispanic health advocacy group. "That is why it is important to raise awareness about lupus in Hispanic/Latino communities, and in particular among women. They need to know what is lupus, what are the signs and symptoms, and that lupus can be better controlled if diagnosed early." May is Lupus Awareness Month and the Alliance's Let's Talk About Lupus/Hablemos del lupus Program is helping to increase awareness about lupus among Hispanics, connect individuals to services in their community, and advance health care practitioners' knowledge on diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes for those with lupus. As part of this initiative and in collaboration with the Lupus Foundation of America, the Alliance developed ¿Podría tener lupus? (Could you Have Lupus?), a fact-sheet and a companion Info-Card in Spanish, with key information about what is lupus, the symptoms and organs it can affect, to encourage patients to ask their providers questions. These materials along with the program PSAs are available at http://www.healthyamericas.org/lets-talk-about-lupus.html "There are medications and steps that a person can take to control it", said Dr. Delgado. "With these new Spanish-language lupus resources, we want to raise awareness and help close the knowledge gap with regards to lupus among Hispanics. Consumers can also call our toll- free Su Familia Helpline at 1-866-783-2645 to get answers to their questions about lupus and receive referrals to health resources in their community," added Dr. Delgado. Lupus is a serious autoimmune disease that can lead to inflammation and damage to many organs and body tissues. Lupus is often misdiagnosed for many reasons as there is no single test that can be used to know if someone has lupus.

Español Nuestras Voces Adelante (Our Voices Moving Forward) Network Program Given that cancer is the leading cause of death for Hispanics, the Alliance’s Nuestras Voces Adelante (Our Voices Moving Forward) Network works to save lives by reducing the impact of commercial tobacco use and related cancers in Hispanic communities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. ​ In 2023, the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) announced a competitive process to award cooperative agreements to reduce the impact of commercial tobacco use and cancer-related morbidity and mortality in underserved communities. As a result, the Alliance was selected to be a funded partner for this collaboration with CDC. ​ Our goal is to expand partnerships and collaborative opportunities with trusted Hispanic community-based organizations (CBOs), coalitions, and other stakeholders to implement culturally proficient tobacco control and cancer prevention interventions within Hispanic communities. Key Network CBO members will build and leverage their resources to support other organizations throughout the country to increase community resources, expand local partnerships, and lead the commercial tobacco and cancer control priorities for the Hispanic community. The Network will also prioritize outreach and engagement with national and state organizations to provide tailored training and technical assistance on best practices that provide culturally proficient services to Hispanic communities, with a focus on state health departments’ tobacco and cancer programs. Specific Network efforts include: ​ Design, develop, and conduct commercial tobacco and cancer control-related webinars and trainings on the latest Hispanic-related data, studies, and findings relevant to key decision makers. ​ Lead a community of practice (CoP) comprised of partners with a shared interest and commitment to accelerate health equity through the identification and use of subject matter experts and evidence-based interventions, and highlight promising practices where such interventions do not exist. Our intent is also to provide trainings and technical assistance for Hispanic communities throughout the United States on the reduction of commercial tobacco use and tobacco-related cancers. ​ Increase the reach of commercial tobacco and cancer-control communications and outreach campaigns through the creation and dissemination of culturally proficient media messages as well as CDC tobacco and cancer control campaigns and interventions.
