Study Finds a Dearth of Mental Health Interventions for Ethnic Minority Youth in the US (VIDEO)
Caption
Armando Pina, of the Arizona State University Department of Psychology, describes an upcoming study in the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. Pina, Antonio Polo from DePaul University, and Stanley Huey from the University of Southern California analyzed how effective evidence-based mental health intervention programs were for ethnic minority youth in the United States. Four treatment programs met the criteria of "well-established." These treatments addressed substance abuse, disruptive behavior and anxiety in Hispanic/Latino and African-American youth. Native-American and Asian-American youth were underrepresented or absent from research studies on mental health intervention programs. A Spanish language version of this video is available upon request.
