Abstract
LatinoNet health fair project data was compiled from 71 surveys in fall, 2015. The participants' identities were kept anonymous and included a wide range of age demographics from youth, college students, adults and the elderly; majority of the survey participants identified as Latino. The purpose of the survey was to describe survey responses as they related to indicators of breast cancer screening, access to health insurance, and access and participation in CalFresh. The findings demonstrated that attendance at the LatinoNet health fair is beneficial and should continue. Recommendations are made to create more opportunities for more outreach as these health fairs are imperative to the growing Latino communities of Humboldt and to develop survey questions that help measure more succinctly what was learned from this project.
