The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the challenges Mexican Americans face when accessing mental health care service utilization along the South Texas-Mexico border. Disparities in access and use of health and mental health services have led Latinos to be disproportionately represented among those most at-risk for chronic health and mental health illnesses and less likely to receive guideline congruent care. Research on mental health service utilization has documented the presence of economic, cultural, and structural barriers that contribute to the underutilization of health services by Latinos. Researchers conducted three focus groups with 25 mental health providers in the South Texas-Mexico border region. Researchers followed a semi-structured question list and probed for detail from group participants. Kleinman’s Explanatory Model [1] guided the question list. The researchers used ethnographic content analysis to analyze the transcripts. Providers reported several challenges when it came to accessing mental health services. The challenges included limited access to insurance, minimal knowledge of mental health, lack of family involvement, few providers, medication management, stigma, and culture.

After four decades of HIV/AIDS pandemic, African Americans represent at least 43 percent of infections but only makeup 12.6 percent of the USA population (Census Bureau, 2010). It is apparent from these rates that additional information is needed to further understand the possible linkages between HIV/AIDS infection and members of this ethnic group. This exploratory study analyzed relationships between knowledge and attitudes toward safe sex, and risky behaviors on an HBCU. Using purposive sampling, a group of 364 students was surveyed. Factors assessed as determinants of risky sexual behaviors were: (1) general HIV knowledge, (2) attitude towards safe sex practices, and (3) unprotected or unsafe sex practices. Findings suggest that the average count of risk incidents among women was significantly higher than men; however, women are more inclined to have preventive contagion practices for sexually transmitted diseases than men. In addition, they are more aware of what constitutes risky sexual behavior. The findings should assist universities in developing educational programs and culturally sensitive intervention and prevention strategies aimed at students who are at risk for participating in risky behaviors.

Associated Profile Abstract H IV is associated with poor quality of life and high mortality rates on the people suffering from this illness. Presently, Cd4 levels are the main factor established to identify the distinct trauma on the host’s body and systems. The consequence and severity of HIV complications vary among individuals; however, many factors come into play when assessing and developing treatment plans for this population. Purpose: The current investigation endeavors to respond to the following, are there any indicators of a weak immune system other than a low Cd4 count in people living with HIV (PLHIV) that can aid and guide more target treatment to increase life expectancy and improve quality of life? This project's invention is to establish a comprehensive profile equated with the immune system levels among Hispanics-Latino PLHIV. Methods: Data was extracted and collected from 449 partakers' records from participants enrolled in La Perla de Gran Precio HIV Community Center in Puerto Rico. We examined and compared the relationship between five distinct components, motor (speed and inclination on a treadmill), cardiorespiratory (cardio time and HR), lipid panel (triglycerides, cholesterol among others), comorbidities (diabetes, neuropathy, among others) and lifestyle (smoker, sedentary, etc.), which are essential physical fitness components, regarding subjects’ immune profiles (Cd4 values). Results: The data analyzed in this study were from 449 participants' records further divided into 198 for the Low-HIV (Cd4=323.6+/-120.75) and 247 for the High-HIV (Cd4=836.84+/-283.41) groups according to Cd4 values. The L-HIV and H-HIV were, for the most part, males with an average age of 54 years old and approximately 20 years of diagnosis. An ANOVA analysis revealed that four out of the five components showed differences among both groups. Conclusion: In Hispanic Latino PLHIV, distinctive physical and cardiovascular profiles, related to lower immune health, were identified. We recommend adding the components mentioned in this study to comprehensively understand the mechanism affecting the quality of life and life expectancy in those with HIV.
hiv与患者的生活质量差和高死亡率有关。目前,Cd4水平是确定宿主机体和系统不同创伤的主要因素。艾滋病毒并发症的后果和严重程度因人而异;然而,在评估和制定针对这一人群的治疗计划时,许多因素都发挥了作用。目的:目前的研究努力回应以下问题,HIV感染者(PLHIV)中除了Cd4计数低外,是否存在其他免疫系统薄弱的指标,可以帮助和指导更多的靶向治疗,以延长预期寿命和改善生活质量?这个项目的发明是建立一个全面的概况等同于免疫系统水平的西班牙裔拉丁裔艾滋病病毒。方法:从波多黎各La Perla de Gran Precio HIV社区中心登记的449名参与者的记录中提取和收集数据。我们检查并比较了运动(跑步机上的速度和倾角)、心肺(有氧时间和心率)、脂质(甘油三酯、胆固醇等)、合并症(糖尿病、神经病变等)和生活方式(吸烟、久坐等)这五个不同组成部分之间的关系,这些都是必不可少的身体健康组成部分,涉及受试者的免疫状况(Cd4值)。结果:本研究分析的数据来自449名参与者的记录,根据Cd4值进一步分为Low-HIV组198人(Cd4=323.6+/-120.75)和High-HIV组247人(Cd4=836.84+/-283.41)。L-HIV和H-HIV感染者大部分为平均年龄54岁、确诊时间约为20年的男性。方差分析显示,5个组成部分中有4个在两组之间显示出差异。结论:在西班牙裔拉丁裔PLHIV中,发现了与较低免疫健康相关的独特的身体和心血管特征。我们建议增加本研究中提到的成分,以全面了解影响艾滋病毒感染者生活质量和预期寿命的机制。

There is no denying that the effects of poverty are vast and farreaching. From life expectancy to academic success, the effects it has have inundated many aspects of life for those who identify with the socioeconomic status. Those who are largely effected by it are some of society’s most vulnerable individuals children. Children living in poverty often lack easy access to proper housing, education, nutrition, and medical care. In both developed and non-developed countries, poverty is continuously linked to deficits in biological, cognitive, emotional, and academic development. This paper aims to explore the many different effects poverty and its associated domains have on childhood development. From infancy through adolescence and the ripple effect it has on adulthood, the consequences of living in low-income environments will be discussed in relation to proper childhood development. Due to the malleable nature of the brain during these crucial formative years, many of the issues faced during childhood can persist into adolescence and further into adulthood. For these reasons, the long lasting effects of enduring poverty into adulthood will also be examined.

Within the clinical work of professionals in the field of addictions, co-existing vulnerability factors are rampant. One impactful vulnerability which is seldom recognized by professionals but significantly effects an individual with addictions and his/her perception of the self and others is hypengyophobia. This is a fear of responsibility. Yet, taking responsibility in addiction is a major theme for healing. A life of passivity will not lead to recovery, and this is exactly the effect of hypengyophobia. Grounded in Jung’s (1933) psychodynamic theory, with a case study example included, understanding, recognition and an innovative treatment for this rarely explored vulnerability is forwarded to clinical professionals in addictions. Hypengyophobia is forwarded as an integral part of addictions’ treatment.

This paper will provide an overview of suicide prevalence among South Asian Americans who constitute nearly one-third of Asian Americans and 1.7 percent of the United States population. South Asians, late 20th century immigrants, are a numerally small percentage of the population in the United States. As a distinct ethnic population despite significant diversity within, South Asians encounter unique challenges with myriad sub-cultures and struggles that make them vulnerable and underrepresented in policy and service utilization in mental health and health care due to various barriers. These conditions create vulnerability among first and subsequent generations as they go through social pressures of acculturation and integration into American society. Suicide, as a rising social concern related to health disparities research, is described with the aid of common theoretical perspectives along with causal/risk factors. Suicide rate is the highest among South Asians even among Asian-origin Americans which has higher suicide among all minority populations – Asian, African and Hispanic Americans. Success of South Asians is associated with certain hidden or unrecognized costs. Making the American dream a reality which is a strenuous journey for South Asians predisposes them at higher risk for health, mental health, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, and behavior. Systematic review of articles from three databases with focus and content on South Asian Americans was conducted and the results are presented in this article. Identified concerns and issues are addressed in the light of theoretical perspectives and evidence gathered from the systematic review and critical analysis.

Purpose: Research demonstrates tremendous harmful effects for children and adolescents that have experienced trauma of various forms before the age of eighteen. These effects are profound as not only are they linked to current detrimental effects such as increased rates of substance abuse, early sexual activity, higher rates of depression, and suicidal ideation, but they also have shown to be damaging in adulthood. This systematic review provides an examination of interventions that reduce the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) for Black/African American children and adolescents. Methods: This study used an intervention assessment tool to determine the methodological rigor derived from the American Psychological Association on assessing interventions as the risk of bias tool. The methodological rigor was used to assess the interventions that reduce the effects of ACEs. Effect sizes for controlled trials, pre-post effect sizes, and pilot studies were calculated. Results: This search identified a total of 1,594 studies in which 617 were screened and five were selected. The five utilized harm reduction interventions to address the effects of ACEs. All of the study participants were Black/African American children and adolescents. The effect sizes that were available ranged from medium to large. The Strong African American Families Program (SAAF) intervention had the strongest methodological rigor with a medium effect size. Conclusion: The review suggests that the combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and psychoeducational training techniques provided positive effects on the reduction of ACE related symptoms for Black/African American children and adolescents. The randomized control trials yielded the greatest improvements from the interventions. However, the findings were few and the need for interventions for this population continue to grow.

The United States has more immigrants than any other country in the world. The Unaccompanied refugee minor program has been serving thousands of youth annually since the 1970s and yet there is still a dearth of research and some apprehension of how to assist these vulnerable children in making friends and supportive relationships in the US. Social ties, social support networks, and engagement in the local/ immigrant community have all been shown to help ease the transition to the United States and improve mental health well being for immigrants. A national refugee resettlement agency sent surveys to all the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors who had existed foster care program three to 15 months prior to assess their social connections and community engagement after the program ended. Thirty youth replied and results show that living arrangements varied among participants, social engagement in the community was present for most of the young adults, relationships were an aspect of social support, and reliance on public benefits was relatively low among respondents. There are implications for caseworkers in terms of case planning to help ensure youth are connected before they leave the program, and future recommendations for more in-depth research are included.
