CRISOL Mente: A Multilevel Community Intervention to Reduce Mental Health Disparities Among Latinos

Description

Latinos in the U.S. experience significant disparities in access to mental health services due to lack of health insurance, language barriers, low availability of bilingual providers, mental health stigma, and fear of deportation. There is an urgent need to identify low-cost, culturally appropriate interventions to reduce mental health disparities among this population. This project will address that need by implementing and testing CRISOL Mente, a multi-level, culturally-congruent community intervention to improve the mental health of the Latino population in Philadelphia.

Conditions

Depression, Unipolar, Anxiety Disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
