Book excerpt: How can psychology contribute to our understanding of Hispanics in the United States? Edited by Amado M. Padilla, Hispanic Psychology offers students, researchers, and practitioners the most contemporary and complete view of psychological writings available today. The topics tackled by a team of social scientists include adaptation to a new culture in the United States, the role of the family in acculturation, ethnic identification for Hispanics, health and mental health service and research needs of Hispanics, and changing gender roles in Hispanic culture. This volume examines such complex subjects as Chicano male gang members, homeless female AIDS victims, and educational resiliency of students with authority and perceptivity. This book brings together diverse psychological issues that will spark an interest in anyone wishing to have a current perspective on the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. "Libraries serving graduate students in the areas of psychology, education, child development, or Latino studies should find this book helpful." --Choice "The growing presence and relevance of ethnic and cultural issues in many mental health disciplines has a cogent demonstration in this handsome volume. The strength of this volume is in its well-conceived and realized research studies. Indeed, the "new scholarship" of conceptual models, measurement instruments, and interpretive approaches, drawing heavily on the social context in which Hispanics live, gives this book a prominent place among its peers. This volume will become a landmark in the task of defining the realities and the fate of Hispanics in the United States of the twenty-first century." --Renato D. Alacrón in Transcultural Psychiatric Research Review

Download or read book Mental Health Barriers to Access in the Latinx Community written by Mayra Aleman and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, Latinx are 33% less likely to receive the appropriate mental health treatment when compared to other ethnic groups and lack of access to care can further exacerbate mental health conditions (National Alliance on Mental Health, 2020). A good understanding of institutional and systemic barriers faced by the Latinx community can shed light to the underutilization of mental health services. A systematic literature review was conducted to gain a better understanding of barriers that contribute to underutilization of mental health services among Latinx communities. A number of databases, including PubMed and PsychInfo were used to search for published literature on the topic. The research terms used were the following: "Latinos," "Hispanic," "Mexican American," "mental health treatment," "counseling," and "mental health access." The inclusion criteria comprised articles that were peer-reviewed studies that pertained to barriers to accessing mental health services faced by the Latinx community in the United States. The articles were further narrowed down by the year they were published, and articles published before 1999 were not included in the review. The exclusion criteria consisted of studies conducted outside of the United States and did not mention mental health access. A total of 23 articles were included in this literature review. Results from the study identified three major themes: Socioeconomic Status, Cultural Factors, and Language. In addition, several sub themes were identified and placed under the umbrella of the three major themes, including insurance coverage and cost, immigration status, stigma, lack of English proficiency in the Latinx community, lack of Spanish speaking therapists, and limited translators. The results from this study suggest a need for social support, policies directed to increasing funding and accessibility to mental health care, provision of culturally- sensitive mental health programs for the Latinx community and highlights an urgent call to action from the public health sector to conduct more outreach programs that would ensure availability, adequate provision, and sustainability of mental health services to Latinx communities.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the contributing factors to the underutilization of the mental health services among the Latino population in the Sacramento region. A non-probability purposive sample (n =33) of subjects with a Latino background were administered an online survey on their perspectives regarding Familismo, alternative healing practices, religion, acculturation, social economic status, and experiences of discrimination. The study findings indicate that the acculturation levels of the participants, their perception of stigma related to mental illness, and patterns of help seeking from family and friends influence the degree and/or hesitation in utilizing mental health services. Results indicated a significant positive correlation between perceived public stigma and personal stigma, r (31) =.496, p =.003 among the respondents. The results from an independent sample t-test to compare General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ) scores in the participants born in the United States and participants born outside the United States yielded a mean difference of 2.2272 between the two groups with no statistical significance. This and other findings suggest that while there is some difference in the pattern of help seeking behavior between the first and second generation immigrants the experience of other barriers is similar between the two groups in the areas of language difficulties and experiences of discrimination. Shared ethnic background emerged as a factor with 51.2% of the participants in the study indicating that they would likely seek mental health services and with 33% responding that it is extremely likely that they would seek services if the provider was Latino. It is recommended that both interventions and education at the micro and macro level specifically on programs and services planned in collaboration with the Latino community for integrating the cultural identity and health perceptions of the community members in developing culturally competent mental health services, need to be addressed. Additionally, improving access to the mental health care provided by bilingual professionals, trained interpreters, and innovative health fairs or mobile clinics are required to reduce the vulnerabilities associated with seeking help from entities and professionals outside the family.

They then offer methods that utilize these strengths to ensure a culturally-competent approach to practice with Latino populations. Each chapter is accompanied by key questions for personal and group reflection to facilitate discussion and understanding of these vital themes. The editors have nearly three decades of combined experience working with Latino populations inside and outside the United States. Drawing on this experience, they integrate these varied perspectives to prepare students and practitioners for practice with this richly diverse community.
Download or read book A Systematic Review of the Factors that Decrease Mental Health Stigma Among Latino Adults written by Esmeralda Silva and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The Latino population continues to be on the rise in the United States, along with mental health services. Mental health stigma is an additional barrier for Latino adults to seek and access mental health services, among other barriers. Identifying factors that decrease mental health stigma among this population can help bridge this gap. Research Question: What are the factors that contribute to reduce the mental health stigma among Latino adults? Methods: A Systematic Literature Review was completed. Results: Findings suggested that adapting a study's approach with the participants culture and language could assist to change the attitudes towards mental health among Latino adults. In addition, offering different mental health service approaches to Latinos could assist for Latinos to participate in services (e.g. telephone, online, face to face) and decrease their mental health stigma. Finally, community-based settings have played a key role in Latinos accessing mental health services. Discussion: Based on the results, it is important to acknowledge possible adjustments that the mental health field and social workers could apply to help decrease the mental health stigma among Latino adults.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign-born Latinos are at particular risk for underutilizing mental health services (Alegria et al., 2007b). The purpose of this study was to examine the roles of acculturation and stigma about mental disorder in the use of mental health services among West Coast Latinos, including foreign- and U.S.-born. Variables measured included acculturation, stigma, mental health status, and past-year mental health service visits to three types of providers: (a) medical; (b) specialty mental health; and (c) non-clinical. I accounted for the influence of mental health status as I evaluated the following hypotheses: (1) Foreign-born Latinos will report lower levels of acculturation and higher levels of stigma than U.S.-born Latinos; and (2) lower levels of acculturation and higher levels of stigma will correlate with lower mental health services use. Results indicated that foreign- and U.S.-born Latinos had used services to the same extent in the year prior and reported similar levels of mental health functioning. There was no evidence of a relationship between acculturation, stigma, and mental health services use. However, having insurance and lower education were shown to be predictors of making a mental health visit (p= .014). Unexpectedly, more U.S.-born Latinos had made at least one past-year visit to a non-clinical source than foreign-born Latinos (p= .043). Overall, this study demonstrated that, while cultural and attitudinal factors did not play a significant role in the use of mental health services, socioeconomic factors of having health insurance and lower educational attainment did.
