Education is the No. 1 issue of importance for Hispanics across the nation,according to a study released today by FH Hispania. The study, "Confianza: Hispanic Trust Pulse," also found that teachers and schools are the leading source of information followed by different sources of media. For first generation Hispanics, education, child care, and crime and security are the leading issues of importance.However, second generation Hispanics are most concerned about access to healthcare along with education and crime and security.

For non Hispanics who participated in the study, education, and crime and security also ranked among the top three topics of interest. Topics such as access to healthcare, religion, nutrition and fitness, and money and financial planning figured more prominently than for Hispanics.

The study also uncovered that topic experts, media, friends, and family, in that order, are the most trusted sources on the top 10 issues of interest among Hispanics.
