This book was released on 2018 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neighborhood context and parental influences are two major factors that are known to impact the mental health development of adolescents. Both factors have been extensively studied in either contributing or preventing youth from developing internalizing or externalizing mental health problems, such as depression and antisocial behavior (ASB). Specifically, researchers have investigated how perceived neighborhood safety, family cohesion, parental-engagement, and parent-child communication either serves as a protective factor or a risk factor for mental health problems within adolescents. This is consistent with Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory (1977) that highlights the influence of numerous systems in adolescent mental health development, where appropriate levels of parental influences and a safe neighborhood will lead to positive mental health development. Neighborhood context and parental influences falls under the microsystem, which has a direct impact on adolescent mental health development due to these contexts being the 'immediate' social setting in which the adolescent is involved in (Lomas. 2015). Researchers have also documented that when youth develop mental health problems, racial/ethnic disparities exist in whether youth access mental health services to address those problems. Specifically, Latinx and African American youth demonstrate higher levels of unmet mental health need relative to their White counterparts, and these disparities often depend on the type of mental health problems (internalizing vs. externalizing) exhibited in youth. The current study examined the extent to which perceived neighborhood safety and parental influences were associated with mental health status and whether this led to receipt of mental health services and how that differed by problem type and ethnicity. The study goals were achieved using multigroup structural equation modeling in MPLUS, version 8.0 (Muthén & Muthén, 2017). Results revealed that the path between perceived neighborhood safety and externalizing ASB was significant. However, the path between perceived neighborhood safety and internalizing depressive symptoms was non-significant. The paths between parental influence and internalizing depressive symptoms as well as and externalizing ASB behaviors were also significant. Lastly, the path between internalizing depressive symptoms and mental health service use was significant but did not vary by race/ethnicity strongly based on beta coefficients. Results did illustrate that African American youth were likely to receive services when exhibiting depressive symptoms in comparison to Latinx and White youths. The current study has multiple policy implications; the study suggests that there should be interventions specifically targeted at improving neighborhood contexts and parenting characteristics as they can serve as protective factors against mental health status (Kruger et al., 2007; Yu et al., 2006). Additionally, research shows that there are racial/ethnic disparities in mental health service use; however based on the current study findings, there should also be an increased awareness of how these disparities vary by problem type (Martinez, Gudiño, & Lau, 2013).

Download or read book Parental Involvement in Mental Health Services for Diverse Youth written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental involvement may be a particularly critical component of culturally competent psychotherapy for racial/ethnic minority youth, although limited research in this area is available. The present study aims to address gaps in the literature by 1) examining whether parent cultural variables (race/ethnicity, acculturation, language) predict actual and preferred parental involvement, and 2) investigating whether parent cultural variables and parental involvement predict mental health outcome trajectories and service retention. The sample consists of 264 adolescents (aged 12-19) who have received outpatient mental health services, their parents, and their therapists. Research instruments measure parent cultural variables, preferred and actual parental involvement, functional impairment, symptomatology, and premature termination from baseline to 6-month follow-up time points. Analyses using multi-level modeling were conducted to control for nested data and clustering effects at the therapist level. Overall, hypotheses were supported such that both preferred and actual parental involvement led to a reduction of youth functional impairment. Racial/ethnic minority parents (African American and Hispanic) had higher levels of preferred involvement than non-Hispanic White parents. However, in some instances, Hispanic parents reported less actual involvement. Hispanic parents also reported a significant reduction in their child's functional impairment over time compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Findings from this study may facilitate the development of interventions that encourage parents to play a key role in their child's mental health treatment and improve the quality of care for racial/ethnic minority youth.

Book excerpt: This project is unique in the field for a number of reasons, both in structure and in content. Specifically, it will have leading experts on specific age groups (Childhood to Adolescence, Young Adulthood to Middle Age, and The Elderly) within the cultural groups of interest (European-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Native Americans) contribute a chapter covering current research on both positive and negative functioning for each population. Each chapter will present basic demographic information, strengths that contribute to resilience, and three significant challenges each group faces to maintaining mental health. Each chapter will then include an integrative section, where ideas are advanced about how the strengths of each group can be harnessed to address the challenges that group faces. To conclude, each chapter will propose future directions for research which addresses integrative approaches to mental health for each group, and the implications that such approaches could have for future treatment. The main points of each section of each chapter will be visually summarized in a concluding table.
