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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the cultural, familial, and community resilience and protective factors that are available to different youth populations in the U.S.! The face of American youth is changing. In 2000, ethnic minority youth constituted one third of the adolescent population; by mid-century, the combined ethnic minority youth population will exceed the white adolescent population. This vital book illustrates the diversity within the adolescent population, examines the factors that serve as barriers and as facilitators to development, and identifies strengths and protective factors contributing to resilience as well as needs and risk factors. Social Work with Multicultural Youth presents accurate conceptual frameworks for understanding the experiences of ethnic youth to help you create culturally relevant interventions to promote their well-being. Here is a sample of what you'll find in this important and informative book: a comprehensive epidemiological profile of adolescent populationswith current data on issues that contribute to adolescents' health and well-being cultural strengths models and resilience models that meet the developmental needs of Latino and African-American youth an overview of the academic disparities between Latina adolescents and their cohorts in other ethnic groups an important chapter that employs conflict theory to place the disadvantaged status and position of African-American youth in its proper context specific recommendations for modifying the process of preparing Latino and African-American youth in foster care for emancipation information on factors that differentially impact academic achievement between African-American youth and their European-American cohorts real-world data about the who and where of adolescent fightingidentified by race/ethnicity, gender, and age new information about substance use in Asian/Pacific Islander populations in America, with important implications for substance abuse interventions resilience and protective factors that emerge from a qualitative study of seventh grade Latina adolescents a look at the differences in sexual behavior and attitudes between Latina adolescents born in the United States and those born outside the U.S. an evaluation of a unique, five-hour intensive intervention aimed at changing the knowledge and attitudes of Latino youth in regard to pregnancy and STDs

This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A team of expert academics and practitioners examines the life circumstances that impact Latino/a youth growing up in two cultures—their native culture and that of the United States. What effect does growing up in an ethnic minority and perhaps in an immigrant family have on development? That is the overarching question Latina and Latino Children's Mental Health sets out to answer. The work examines all of the myriad physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that undermine or support healthy development in Latino American children, from biology to economics to public policy. The first volume of this two-volume set focuses on early-life experiences and the second on youth/adolescent issues, treating such topics as children's development of a sense of self, development of linguistic skills, peer relationships, sexual orientation, and physical development. The work analyzes familial relationships, often an important resource that helps young people build resilience despite the stresses of migration. And it looks at patterns of behavior, social status, and social-goal orientations that differentiate Latino/a children and adolescents from their African American and European American peers.

Download or read book Substance Abusing Latinos written by Shulamith L A Straussner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the role culture, family, and environment have in the prevention of Latino substance abuse Information about the substance abuse behaviors among Latino populations has been limited. Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment fills this void by presenting the latest research on the epidemic of substance abuse now afflicting the Latino community. Ethnic differences are reviewed, including specific studies covering gang members, low-income urban women, risky behaviors, and language preference indicators of acculturation. This book does more than simply present the research—it discusses effective treatment strategies to help practitioners provide quality, culturally competent care to lacking Latino populations. Latinos, the largest minority in the United States, have an increasing alcohol and illicit drug use problem. Culture, acculturation, and language hold powerful sway in the research of Latino/a substance abuse. Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment delves deeply into troubling issues such as gang membership, sexual abuse, the lack of healthy family role models, the effects of different levels of acculturation, the lack of health insurance, and rampant involvement with the criminal system. The research is used as a foundation to focus on the latest advances of substance abuse prevention and culturally competent intervention programs. Each chapter is extensively referenced to reinforce research. Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment explores: substance abuse among gang members in a small city childhood sexual abuse and drug use among low-income Puerto Rican women a comparison of risky behaviors of African-American and Cuban-American adolescent juvenile offenders acculturation status and substance use prevention with Mexican and Mexican-American youth culturally competent intervention with families of Latino youth at risk for drug abuse psychiatric, family, and ethnicity-related factors that can impact treatment among Hispanic substance abusing adolescents HIV/AIDS prevention practice with substance abusers Substance Abusing Latinos: Current Research on Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment is essential reading for educators, students, practitioners working with Latino/a populations, and substance abuse researchers.

Download or read book Acculturation and Mental Health Status Among Hispanics written by Caroline Gazze and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acculturation is a process of adjusting to a new language, new customs and norms, unfamiliar rules and laws, and lifestyle changes. Hispanics whom have immigrated to our country make up a substantial part of our population and are likely experiencing the acculturation process. The immigrant paradox suggests that in spite of the low socioeconomic status experienced by many acculturating Hispanics, physical health and mortality outcomes are better than those of non- Hispanic whites. However, studies looking at the relationship between acculturation and mental health have been less clear. Numerous studies on acculturation have shown inconsistent results, some of which point to acculturation and positive mental health outcomes and others that point to acculturation and negative mental health outcomes. Some researchers suggest that having a bicultural identity, that is, identifying with both one's origin and host culture smoothes the acculturation process and is a protective factor against negative mental health outcomes. Risk factors exist as well, particularly perceived discrimination, which can increase stress levels related to acculturation and negatively impact mental health. This study uses data collected from the MUSIC study to analyze the relationship between ethnic and American identities, discrimination, and depression among college students. Results revealed no relationship between ethnic and American identities and depression; however, discrimination was significantly related to depression among Hispanics. The experience of discrimination was also found to be worse for Hispanic men than Hispanic women.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino youth have higher rates of unmet mental health needs and Latino families experience poorer treatment retention in youth mental health services than Non-Hispanic Whites. Current research suggests that psychosocial factors such as health locus of control (HLOC) or Acculturation are related to physical health prevention and health promotion behaviors. However, no studies to date have examined whether these factors play a role in youth' and parents' participation (i.e., Engagement) in youth mental health services. The current proposal aims to elucidate the relationships between HLOC, Acculturation, and Engagement in youth mental health treatment for a Latino parent ( n = 80) and a Latino youth (n = 77) sample, taken from the NIMH-funded TWIST study. Pearson correlation analyses were conducted to examine associations between Acculturation and HLOC, and regression analyses were conducted to examine whether Acculturation and HLOC predict Engagement in youth mental health treatment. Consistent with existing theories, results show a significantly positive correlation between youth American Cultural Affinity (ACA) and Internal HLOC, and a significantly negative correlation between parental ACA and Internal HLOC. Contrary to our hypotheses, Acculturation and HLOC did not predict Engagement in either adult or youth sample. Given the limited sample size, this study should be viewed as utilizing a pilot sample of the larger TWIST investigation. As such, projections of sample sizes needed to detect effects are considered and discussed. The current study marks the initiation of a program of research with the long-term objective of examining the relationship between Acculturation, HLOC, Engagement, and outcomes for African American, Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, and non-Hispanic White youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lifetime prevalence of major depressive disorder and dysthymia among teens and adults is 8.3% (n=14974). Teens throughout the US are more likely to experience a major depressive disorder when compared to adults (10.4% vs. 9.4%)(Kessler et al., 2010). Latinos may me at higher risk of mental health problems due to additional stressors such as low socioeconomic status (SES), limited access to services, and cultural stigma towards mental health services (Rossello, & Bernal, 1999). Latinos who have a high rate of acculturation are at greater risk of developing depressive symptoms. This may be due to highly acculturated families having less of an emphasis on familismo which is a cultural value focusing on respecting and helping others in the family (Padilla et al., 2011). American born Latino teens may have a higher rate of acculturation than their parents which has been shown to be related to increased family conflict and lower family support (Chun, & Akutsu, 2003). This dynamic puts Latino teens at an increased risk of developing depressive symptoms (Chun, & Akutsu, 2003; Santisteban, & Mitrani, 2003). This study examined data from 43 Latina teens in 11th and 12th grade to determine the relationship between level of acculturation and diagnosis of a major depressive episode, minor depression, and current symptoms of depression. There were no significant relationships found between acculturation, depressive symptoms, and current and past depression diagnoses. Over half of the sample (58.2%) reported a depression diagnosis at baseline and almost one third (27.9%) reported a depression diagnosis at follow-up indicating that a high number of Latina teens were experiencing depression at the clinical level. Thus, suggesting that participants in the sample would benefit from culturally competent services to address their mental health needs. The limited significant findings in this study may be due to the small sample size and the low acculturation level of the participants. Future research needs to be done with a large and more diverse sample in terms of acculturation levels in order for findings to be generalizable to other Latina teens.
