Yet the research about this group is sparse, and there is a lack of information to guide studies, services or education for the rapidly growing Latino population across the U.S. The existing research has focused on stereotypical perceptions of Latinas as frequently dropping out of school, becoming teen mothers, or being involved with boyfriends in gangs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLatina Girls\u003c\/b\u003e brings together cutting edge research that challenges these stereotypes.
