This book was released on 2018 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of acculturation, socioeconomic status (SES), and self-rated health on the psychological distress among Latino American adults, and to acknowledge possible consequences for social work practice and policy. It was hypothesized that poverty and educational attainment would also have significant impacts on Latino American adult population. This study was a quantitative report using secondary data gathered from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) 2013-2014, Adult Survey. A sample population of Latino American adults between 18 and 65 years old was extracted (n = 4,538) from the CHIS. Descriptive and parametric inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The outcomes demonstrated that factors such as acculturation, health condition, health insurance coverage, SES, education attained, gender, and age had a statistically significant relationship concerning health and psychological distress among the Latino American adult population. Social workers should be aware of the findings to appropriately help clients who belong to this particular community. Health professionals and policy makers should work in partnership to develop preventive programs and interventions to address the issues affecting this population.

Book Synopsis The Role of Stigma and Acculturation in Mental Health Services Utilization Among Foreign-born and U.S.-born Latinos by :

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.

This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America's increasingly diverse society, it is imperative that mental health providers prioritize the development of their cultural competence to assure that they are equipped to meet the needs of their clients. Cultural Considerations in Latino American Mental Health offers a broad array of perspectives from clinicians and researchers actively working with racially and ethnically diverse populations. This book addresses psychosocial cultural issues that impact the mental health of the growing Latino American population. Topics discussed include relevant socio-demographic variables for Latinos and the implications of the steadily increasing Latino population in the United States; cultural values, acculturation, and acculturative stress in the lives of Latino adolescents; culturally responsive intervention of depression in Latino adolescents; depression across the lifespan; and cultural factors in the development of substance abuse issues in the Latino adolescent population. This book is a must-read for mental health clinicians, students, community workers, school counselors, and nurses who work with diverse populations.

Download or read book Creating Infrastructures for Latino Mental Health written by Lydia P. Buki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos are the fastest growing and largest minority group in the United States. In 2008, this group numbered over 47 million; by 2050, the population is expected to triple, reaching 133 million. Traditionally, Latinos have immigrated to large urban centers (e.g., New York, Los Angeles) that over long periods of time developed a complex infrastructure to receive new immigrants. Increasingly, new Spanish-speaking immigrants are moving into areas of the country previously unfamiliar to them. Although urban co-ethnic communities continue to be the destination of many newcomers, immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America in pursuit of low-skilled labor opportunities are settling in small towns and rural areas of the South and Midwest. This new demographic trend has resulted in the creation of the term "new growth communities," which refers to small rural areas that are now home to a small but rapidly growing Hispanic population. Unfortunately, these communities, which are now present in many states across the country (e.g., Illinois, North Carolina), lack the infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of Latino immigrants (e.g., access to health care, immigration assistance, and breaking down language barriers). The lack of an infrastructure and the lack of an established ethnic community to facilitate the assimilation of new immigrants present an ongoing challenge, especially in the area of Latino mental health. The volume focuses on dealing with systemic issues and on providing innovative ideas for development of infrastructure of services. This text will advance ways to understand and ameliorate mental health disparities both from research and experiential perspectives.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing number of refugees, asylum seekers, and irregular migrants poses a challenge for mental health services in Europe. This review found that these groups are exposed to risk factors for mental disorders before, during, and after migration. The prevalence of psychotic, mood, and substance-use disorders in these groups varies but overall resembles that in the host populations. Refugees and asylum seekers, however, have higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder. Poor socioeconomic conditions are associated with increased rates of depression five years after resettlement. Refugees, asylum seekers, and irregular migrants encounter barriers to accessing mental health care. Good practice for mental health care includes promoting social integration, developing outreach services, coordinating health care, providing information on entitlements and available services, and training professionals to work with these groups. These actions require resources and organizational flexibility.

Book Synopsis Acculturation, the Built Environment, and Health-related Quality of Life by : Sarah Denton Mills
Download or read book Acculturation, the Built Environment, and Health-related Quality of Life written by Sarah Denton Mills and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rationale. Studies demonstrate that acculturation is critical to the understanding of health and well-being among Hispanic Americans. Dependent on how acculturation is measured, however, the relationship between acculturation and health-related quality of life is inconsistent. In addition, studies often use proxy measures of acculturation that preclude an understanding of the complex process of acculturation and its relationship to health. Research using latent variables of acculturation based on several cultural indicators has been suggested as a way to advance the study of acculturation in the field. Furthermore, research is needed that goes beyond studying individual characteristics and their impact on health. Studies have shown that aspects of the neighborhood environment (e.g., park density, access to public transit) impact health-related quality of life, but few of these studies have been conducted in Hispanic Americans, or have considered neighborhood environment in combination with individual cultural variables. Studies that consider both individual cultural and environmental characteristics simultaneously allow for the assessment of interactions. Examination of cross-level interactions may provide information on whether cultural variables are more or less important to health-related quality of life in different contexts. In an effort to advance the study of acculturation and health-related quality of life, the present study had four aims: 1) derive person-level latent acculturation variables from multiple individual indicators of acculturation using exploratory factor analysis; 2) identify person-level latent acculturation variables that are associated with health-related quality of life; 3) identify neighborhood-related variables (e.g., proximity to open spaces, food environment) that are associated with health-related quality of life; and 4) determine how person-level acculturation variables interact with neighborhood variables to predict health-related quality of life among Hispanic Americans. Design. Exploratory factor analysis and multi-level modeling were used to explore correlates of mental and physical health-related quality of life in a sample of 383 Hispanic American men and women living in a metropolitan border city. Participants completed health-related questionnaires as part of a larger study developing a clinical trials education program for Hispanic Americans. For this study, person-level acculturation variables were included at the lowest level of the model, and were hierarchically nested within participants' residential neighborhood data. Neighborhoods were defined using census tracts, considered to be relatively homogeneous units based on population characteristics. Individual acculturation and health-related quality of life data were gathered from participant responses on measures included in the survey packet from the parent study. Participants' neighborhood-level data were obtained from the United States Census database, the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project, and the California State Board of Equalization. Results. Exploratory factor analysis showed support for three acculturation latent variables named: Religiosity, Subjective Social Status, and Traditional Acculturation. The Subjective Social Status latent variable was significantly, positively associated with mental and physical health-related quality of life. The Religiosity and Traditional Acculturation latent variables were not significantly associated with mental or physical health-related quality of life. Neighborhoods with a greater percentage of the population within close proximity to an alcohol outlet were associated with better physical health-related quality of life. In addition, the relationship between the Subjective Social Status latent variable and physical health-related quality of life was stronger in neighborhoods with a higher density of tobacco retailers as compared to neighborhoods with a lower density of tobacco retailers. Conclusions. This study suggests that subjective social status and neighborhood characteristics may play an important role in the health-related quality of life of Hispanic Americans. Subjective social status, or an individual's belief about where he or she stands in a social hierarchy, was associated with mental and physical health-related quality of life. Findings from the present study suggest that this relationship was stronger in more disadvantaged neighborhoods. Although the study was cross-sectional, the findings identify potentially modifiable individual and neighborhood variables that may play important roles in determining overall quality of life.

This book was released on 2002-11-02 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics are defined as people of Spanish-speaking origin from Latin America, the Caribbean, or Europe. Hispanics vary in terms of socioeconomic status, race, religion and/or more. A common occurrence among the Hispanics, however, are the emerging issues concerning their health.It is estimated that by 2050 Hispanics will make up more than 25% of the United States' population. It is thus important that they have the resources to contribute maximally to American society. This can come about by first understanding and dealing with issues surrounding their health. In hopes of examining these issues and as a part of its continuing commitment to promote a national dialogue on race and diversity in the United States, the National Academies organized an expert meeting on Emerging Issues in Hispanic Health on April 10, 2002. Emerging Issues in Hispanic Health: Summary of a Workshop includes a review of key demographic data, such as population statistics, that characterize the Hispanic population in the United States; research on the socioeconomic, sociocultural, and behavioral determinants of health; effects of selective migration; the apparent epidemiological paradox : the relatively positive health outcomes observed in some Hispanic populations despite their relatively poor socioeconomic status or other types of disadvantage such as discrimination; and more.
