This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The underutilization of mental health services by People of Color persists as a problem in the U.S. and mental health utilization disparities for Latinx Americans have been severe and persistent (Alegria et al., 2002; Bridges et al., 2014; Turner et al., 2016; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001). More research needs to be done to understand the factors that impact the utilization of Latinx's mental health resources, particularly among Mexican Americans. Mexican Americans are more likely to experience recurrent major depressive episodes than non-Latinx Whites, but have the lowest rates of mental health utilization (Lopez et al., 2012; Turner et al., 2016; Vega & Lopez, 2001). The conceptual Model of Treatment Initiation (MTI) identified key factors that can be barriers to mental health service usage among racial minority groups (Turner et al., 2016). The MTI consists of four major areas: accessibility, availability, appropriateness, and acceptability. Appropriateness acknowledges that cultural groups may conceptualize mental health and its presenting symptoms in a way that aligns with their culture (Turner et al., 2016). This has implications for the type of treatment that Latinx individuals may seek for their mental health problems. Important factors that influence the appropriateness of utilizing mental health services are acculturation, ethnic identity, and racial identity. Acculturation should be examined along with racial identity and ethnic identity since these three factors co-occur in POC (Kohatsu, 2005; Kohatsu et al., 2010; Balidemaj & Small, 2019).Cultural factors like religious beliefs, preference for traditional alternative healers, beliefs about mental health illness, and its treatment have influenced the utilization of mental health services by Latinx individuals. An alternative healing practice used by Mexican American is the holistic healing practice that focuses on the spiritual, affective, and physical dimensions of illness known as curanderismo. It is a folk healing practice and tradition that derives from a fusion of Judeo-Christian religious beliefs, symbols, and rituals with indigenous herbal knowledge and health practices (Ortiz & Torres, 2007; McNeill & Cervantes, 2008). Utilization of alternative healers such as curanderas/os can delay or prevent the use of Western mental health services.The study will focus on the factors from appropriateness by examining how Mexican Americans' levels of acculturation, racial identity, and ethnicity identity influence endorsement of curanderismo and attitudes towards seeking mental health services. It is hypothesized that after controlling gender, acculturation, racial identity, and ethnic identity will significantly predict attitudes toward seeking mental health services and endorsement of curanderismo. The study performed hierarchical multiple regressions to control for gender to examine how acculturation, racial identity, and ethnic identity predict attitudes toward seeking mental health services and endorsement of curanderismo. This study is unique because studies usually do not examine acculturation, racial identity, and ethnic identity at once, nor have endorsement of curanderismo been examined when addressing mental health needs.

Book Latina o American Health and Mental Health

Download or read book Latina o American Health and Mental Health written by Leticia Arellano-Morales Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for health and mental health administrators, community agencies, and policy makers as well as students and general interest readers, this book details the state of the physical and mental health of many Latina/o American groups. While Latina/o Americans originate from more than 25 countries, most health or mental health texts largely focus on Mexican Americans and often fail to address other Latina/o groups, such as South Americans, Central Americans, Puerto Ricans, and others. Moreover, most works address either health or mental health, but not both together. In contrast, Latina/o American Health and Mental Health addresses both the health and mental health of diverse Latina/o heritage groups. An interdisciplinary approach enables readers to identify both similar and divergent areas that affect the health and mental health of Latina/o Americans. Strengths-based and social justice perspectives, rather than a deficit perspective, guide the work in its assessment of disparities among treatment for different groups. This text is ideal for graduate students, practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in public health, community health, family studies, psychology, counseling, social work, and Latina/o studies who are interested in understanding Latina/o health and mental health in the United States and providing culturally responsive services.
