OCD in ethnic and racial minority groups has been – and continues to be – a neglected area of study. The last 15 years of research has shed new light on OCD in African Americans, with some fascinating findings and new questions to answer. This review describes barriers to treatment, such as low income, reduced access to care, racism, and mental health stigma. Also addressed are cultural differences in symptomology, test and measurement issues, and family factors in the development and maintenance of the disorder. Implications of findings to date are discussed, as well as unstudied areas of concern, such as treatment efficacy and African American youth with OCD.","PeriodicalId":51774,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reviews","volume":"12 1","pages":"109-114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2174/1573400512666160602124146","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68156992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a large number of individuals suffer from psychiatric conditions, yet few receive the necessary treatment. Among ethnic minority populations, there is a larger gap in the lack of service use. Help-seeking for professional help has been linked to a variety of variables including education level, stigma towards services, ethnic background, and cultural variables. Research on improving mental health outcomes in primary care settings has been prioritized over the years. However, ethnic minorities are often underrepresented in outpatient mental health care settings. The purpose of this paper is to overview factors that contribute to and hinder ethnic minorities’ use of outpatient psychiatric treatment. The paper will review the current literature on help-seeking among African Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, and Latino Americans; and explore implications for improving care.","PeriodicalId":51774,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reviews","volume":"12 1","pages":"199-220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2174/1573400512666160216234524","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68157412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current article summarizes the scant research regarding the expression of depressive symptoms and depression care in Latino/a adolescents. In the current article we describe select literature focused on Latino/a adolescents and the following areas of mental health research: (a) prevalence rates of depression; (b) the intersection of gender and depressive symptoms; (c) the intersection of age and depressive symptoms; and (d) depression care (i.e., assessment and treatment) for Latino/a adolescents.","PeriodicalId":51774,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reviews","volume":"12 1","pages":"150-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2174/1573400512666160602114446","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68156976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Racial/ethnic differences in the prevalence and symptom expression of PTSD are the focus of the current review. In particular, this review examines differences in PTSD expression and prevalence among three major racial/ethnic groups in the United States: African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian/Asian Americans. Further, cultural factors believed to influence the epidemiology and phenomenology of PTSD, such as differential rates of trauma exposure, acculturation, racism, and stigma, are discussed within the context of PTSD expression and symptom disclosure. The current review examines empirical literature published since 2000 on academic databases including PsychInfo, PubMed, PsychARTICLES, Psychiatry Online, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, with aggregate data prioritized when possible. After a general summary of the major findings of the breadth of topics described above, implications for improving treatment utilization, retention and outcomes across diverse racial/ethnic groups based on research findings are discussed. Finally, directions for future empirical examination into this important area are offered.","PeriodicalId":51774,"journal":{"name":"Current Psychiatry Reviews","volume":"12 1","pages":"124-138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2174/1573400512666160505150257","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68157254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
