Datos is the largest compilation of secondary research on Hispanic Consumers in Arizona and the United States, through our continued partnership with Vitalyst Health Foundation, we are able to analyze the economy and all the data we have collected through a dynamic framework that lets us see the contributions of Arizona Hispanics in relation to the social determinants of a healthy community. This year, we highlight a vital aspect of life that directly affects the health and prosperity of Arizona’s Hispanic population: quality, affordable food (p.157). Six In Focus features and seven informative reprints explore rising food costs, food security, community efforts to address the meal gap and emerging small businesses that recognize the importance of providing nutritious, affordable food. Finally, a Special Feature (pp.171–173), courtesy of Univision Communications, looks at grocery shopping and both quick service and sit-down restaurants in the Phoenix and Tucson DMAs.
