Download or read book Latino Children and Families in the United States written by Josefina M. Contreras and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-09-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population in the United States continues to grow and now represents 12% of the population. Yet, remarkably little attention has been paid to understanding parenting and child development processes among Latino families. Although research on Latino parenting is beginning to emerge, the field is in need of further structure and direction. This volume addresses this need and advances the field both by presenting state-of-the-art research on Latino parenting and also by proposing conceptual and methodological frameworks that can provide the field with further integration and direction. In addition to presenting innovative research examining parental beliefs and practices of Latino families from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, authors provide frameworks for identifying the origins of these beliefs and practices, and provide a rich picture of both the values that can be considered Latino and the social and demographic normative and at-risk Latino samples. Finally, methodological and conceptual recommendations for future research on each cited area, as well as the field, are presented.
Download or read book Cultural Foundations and Interventions in Latino a Mental Health written by Hector Y. Adames and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancing work to effectively study, understand, and serve the fastest growing U.S. ethnic minority population, this volume explicitly emphasizes the racial and ethnic diversity within this heterogeneous cultural group. The focus is on the complex historical roots of contemporary Latino/as, their diversity in skin-color and physiognomy, racial identity, ethnic identity, gender differences, immigration patterns, and acculturation. The work highlights how the complexities inherent in the diverse Latino/a experience, as specified throughout the topics covered in this volume, become critical elements of culturally responsive and racially conscious mental health treatment approaches. By addressing the complexities, within-group differences, and racially heterogeneity characteristic of U.S. Latino/as, this volume makes a significant contribution to the literature related to mental health treatments and interventions.

Download or read book Latino Mental Health written by Jessica Castillo and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population is the largest growing population in the US today. However, despite the continued growth, significant mental health disparities continue to exist among Latinos. The literature indicates strong corelations between the importance of cultural competent treatment and overall treatment utilization. In this study, a modified Relevancy Questionnaire (Gibbs, 2003) is used to extract applicable articles that include a) Latino participants, b) culturally adapted treatment, c) participants diagnosed with mental health illness or substance abuse, and d) measured treatment utilization. Studies were checked for quality through the use of a modified version of Quality of Study Rating Form (QSRF) created by Gibbs (2003). This study produced statistically significant effect sizes showing that incorporation of culturally competent treatment increases mental health treatment utilization and decreases anxiety and depresive symptoms among Latinos.
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.
Download or read book Hispanic Psychology written by Amado M. Padilla and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1995 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 The Mental Health of Latinos as in the United States written by Alham F. Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous reports on the state of the Latino/a-focused mental health literature suggest that the quantity of Latino/a-focused articles within the mental health field continued to be disproportionate to the growing percentage of Latino/as in the United States (Liang, Salcedo, Rivera, & Lopez, 2009). As such, Latino/a mental health experiences, needs, and issues are likely to continue to be underrepresented and misunderstood. Additional examination of factors and variables related to Latino/a’s mental health is warranted in order to contribute to a greater understanding and development of further treatment options for this population. The Latino/a youth/adolescent (13- 17 years old) subpopulation represents a clear example of the need for additional examination within the Latino population. Santisteban and Mena (2009) reported that the Latino/a youth might be susceptible to several mental health indicators that require urgent attention, such as disproportionately higher rates of drug use, higher depressive symptoms, higher suicide ideations, and an evident shortage of evidenced-based treatments that incorporate culturally sensitive information about Latino/a youth. Through two studies, this dissertation seeks to (a) systemically analyze the Latino-focused mental health literature published between 2006 and 2015 by identifying trends and gaps in the literature and (b) examine the associations between a selection of multisystemic variables and Caucasian practitioner’s perceived therapeutic working alliance with an adolescent Latino/a client. The first study analyzed the Latino/a-focused literature in the counseling and mental health fields using Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) Ecological Systems Theory. This study provided a holistic and systemic analysis of the variables utilized in published mental health related Latino/a-focused research between 2006 and 2015. Findings in this study indicate a number of gaps that prevent the formation of a holistic and systemic understanding of the mental health needs of this population. For example, results in this study indicated that microsystemic variables were the most frequently included variables among the studies in the review; whereas, exosystemic and mesosystemic variables represented the least frequently studied variables among Latino/a-focused research. The second study was intended to build upon findings in Study 1, a critique review of the literature. This study examined the multisystemic factors associated with Californian Caucasian practitioners’ (N = 82) perceived therapeutic alliance with Latino/a adolescents. To our knowledge, no previous study had utilized the ecological theory of Bronfenbrenner (1979) to examine the associations between systemic factors and the practitioners’ perceived therapeutic working alliance with their adolescent Latino/a client. The question guiding this study was: To what extent do (a) therapist’s years of experience working with the Latino population, (b) therapist cross-cultural counseling competence, (c) therapist/client gender matching, (d) client generational status, (e) therapist’s interaction with the client’s family, and (f) therapist’s receiving of consultation or supervision about the work with the client predict the therapist-perceived TWA with the client? Results based on standard multiple linear regression indicated that practitioner-client parent interaction and practitioner’s self-perceived cross-cultural counseling competency were significant predictors of therapists’ perceived working alliance with their Latino/a youth client. These two predictors explained 25.3% of the variance in the therapist-perceived therapeutic working alliance. Results further indicated that therapist’s year of experience working with the Latino population, therapist/client gender matching, client’s generational status, and therapist’s receiving of consultation or supervision for the case did not statistically significantly predict therapists’ working alliance with a Latino/a youth client. Overall, findings from both studies highlight the utility of using a multisystemic framework to investigate therapeutic processes. These findings suggest that distal and multisystemic factors are related and predictive of the therapeutic process involving Latino/a youth. Findings in these studies bear relevance for researchers, practitioners, and counselor educators particularly in relation to cross-cultural counseling competence and family involvement in counseling Latino/a youth.
Download or read book Hispanics and the Future of America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.

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.
