Highlighting the Experiences of Hispanic/Latine Youths

Author Note

Here the term “Latine” (la-ti-ne) is used as a gender-neutral reference to individuals who identify primarily with Spanish-speaking cultures of Latin America, including the Caribbean. We recognize that in practice this may include individuals who identify only as “Hispanic” or those who speak Brazilian Portuguese. While no term is perfect, unlike the terms “Latinx” and “Latin@”, the origins of the term “Latine” are rooted in Latin American social movements and its use is more congruent with a Spanish-language pronunciation.
