Assessing National Institutes of Health Prevention Research on Leading Causes of Death Focused on Racial or Ethnic Minority Populations, Fiscal Years 2016-2020
Only about one-fourth of NIH-funded prevention research on leading causes of death focused on racial or ethnic minorities, who currently comprise about 40% of the US population. Only a small fraction of minority health prevention projects included an intervention design, suggesting a limited contribution to the evidence base on effective interventions to address racial or ethnic mortality disparities. Also, we identified that the number of projec…

Building the Evidence Base to Inform Planned Intervention Adaptations by Practitioners Serving Health Disparity Populations
Many evidence-based interventions (EBIs) have been developed to prevent or treat major health conditions. However, many EBIs have exhibited limited adoption, reach, and sustainability when implemented in diverse community settings. This limitation is especially pronounced in low-resource settings that serve health disparity populations. Often, practitioners identify problems with existing EBIs originally developed and tested with populations diff…
Sideways Progress in Intervention Research Is Not Sufficient to Eliminate Health Disparities
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Framework
We introduce the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) research framework, a product that emerged from the NIMHD science visioning process. The NIMHD research framework is a multilevel, multidomain model that depicts a wide array of health determinants relevant to understanding and addressing minority health and health disparities and promoting health equity. We describe the conceptual underpinnings of the framework…
Cultural Influences on Causal Beliefs About Depression Among Latino Immigrants
Purpose: This study describes causal beliefs about depression among Dominican, Colombian, and Ecuadorian immigrants. The authors describe participants’ narratives about how particular supernatural or religious beliefs may contribute to or alleviate depression. Method: Latino primary care patients ( n = 177) were interviewed with the Beliefs About Causes of Depression Scale, a list of 35 items rated from not at all important to extremely important…
Correlates of religious, supernatural and psychosocial causal beliefs about depression among Latino immigrants in primary care
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore causal attributions about depression and to identify psychosocial factors associated with these beliefs among Latino immigrants. We interviewed 177 primary care patients with instruments to assess causal beliefs, depressive and somatic symptoms, ethnic identity and stigma. An exploratory factor analysis of the Causal Beliefs scale yielded three factors, “Balance,” “Psychosocial” and “Malevo…
Outreach, Engagement, and Practical Assistance
The purpose of this article is to examine the literature on the increased risk factors of disadvantaged inner-city residents for becoming victims of violence and for developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and barriers to accessing comprehensive mental health services. Second, the article discusses the limitations of evidence-based treatments for early intervention with urban victims of violence and provides a new model of care emphasizin…
Reduction of State Victim Compensation Disparities in Disadvantaged Crime Victims Through Active Outreach and Assistance
Objectives. We examined whether providing active outreach and assistance to crime victims as part of comprehensive psychosocial services reduced disparities in access to state compensation funds. Methods. We analyzed data from a randomized trial of injured crime victims (N = 541) and compared outcomes from comprehensive psychosocial services with usual community care. We examined the impact of outreach and assistance on disparities in applying fo…
Psychoeducation to Address Stigma in Black Adults Referred for Mental Health Treatment
Mental Health Provider Perspectives on Co-occurring Substance Use Among Severely Mentally Ill Clients
This qualitative study explores strategies used by mental health providers (N = 17) to address substance use problems among seriously mentally ill (SMI) clients and their perspectives on barriers to treatment and how treatment can be improved. Providers identified numerous strategies, yet these were countered with perceptions of multiple obstacles, leaving them frustrated, helpless, and hopeless about their clients' substance use. Results suggest…
Clinical Characteristics and Service Utilization Patterns of Clients with Schizophrenia-Spectrum Disorders in Public Residential Detoxification Settings
Severely Mentally Ill Consumers' Perspectives on Drug Use
Substance use disorders have serious negative consequences for severely mentally ill (SMI) adults, but many do not receive adequate substance abuse treatment. As part of a larger project on access barriers to substance abuse treatment for SMI clients, this qualitative study examined two potential client-level barriers to treatment: minimization of drug problems and perceived acceptability of drug use to reduce psychiatric symptoms. Open-ended int…
Early teacher perceptions and later student academic achievement.
The researchers explore relationships between preschool teachers' appraisals of intelligence, concurrent child characteristics, and future high school performance in a core sample of 110 4-year-olds. Children with higher socioeconomic status (SES) and those perceived as assertive and independent were judged by teachers more positively than IQ score predicted; conversely, low SES and perceived immaturity were associated with more negative teacher …
