Abstract

Global health disparities continue to widen as professional standards for effectiveness of mental health services provision become more precise and difficult to achieve across varied economic and social contexts. Within the US, health disparities are evident in Latinx populations. Globally, the health disparities are also evident in Latin America as compared to the US and other economically affluent nations. The diversification of psychology in content and persons has led to a unique opportunity to build bridges that can help reduce disparities inand outside of the US mainland. Collaborations can be of great use in addressing health disparities internationally but also are of critical importance in testing the ecological validity of existing interventions. It is imperative that researchers approach these exchanges as truly collaborative and power even, as researchers in all locations stand to learn and grow from the partnership, otherwise US-based researchers can unwittingly engage intellectual colonization and advance cultural imperialism. US-based researchers must be particularly thoughtful about disparities in both resources and consequences for success and failures in research contexts. We discuss specific failures, recoveries, and successes that may be useful to other researchers engaged, or seeking to engage in, international collaborations.

在美国本土以外扩大循证干预:社会正义还是特洛伊木马?
全球健康差距继续扩大,因为提供精神卫生服务的有效性的专业标准变得更加精确,而且难以在不同的经济和社会背景下实现。在美国,拉丁裔人口的健康差距很明显。在全球范围内,与美国和其他经济富裕国家相比,拉丁美洲的健康差距也很明显。心理学在内容和人物上的多样化为我们提供了一个独特的机会,可以帮助我们建立桥梁,减少美国本土内外的差异。合作在解决国际卫生差距方面可以发挥巨大作用,但在检验现有干预措施的生态有效性方面也至关重要。科学家必须将这些交流视为真正的合作和力量,因为所有地方的科学家都将从这种伙伴关系中学习和成长,否则美国的科学家可能会不知不觉地参与智力殖民和推进文化帝国主义。美国的科学家必须特别考虑在研究环境中资源和成功与失败的后果方面的差异。我们讨论了具体的失败、恢复和成功,这些可能对其他从事或寻求从事国际合作的研究人员有用。
