The Latino Health Beliefs Project Records contain interviews and transcripts written in English and Spanish.

Participants were asked how they cope with illness, what is their knowledge of treatment, and their personal beliefs about illness. Students recorded and transcribed the interviews. The average interview length is 45 to 60 minutes. The original recordings were donated and some of the interviews were transcribed.
