“…This finding provides some support for the "healthy immigrant effect," which posits that Caribbean immigrants have better health than U.S.-born Blacks. However, studies examining the effects of racism on health and well-being (Hummer, 1996;Jones, 2001;Postmes & Branscombe, 2002; provide a plausible explanation for the erosion of the immigrant health advantage with length of residence in the U.S. Specifically, findings from these studies indicate that differences in mental health outcomes between U.S.-born and Caribbean-born Blacks may be attributable to time lived in the U.S. Vega and Amaro (1994) found that rates of mental disorders in Mexico-born immigrants in the U.S. who had lived fewer than 13 years in the U.S. closely resembled those for residents of Mexico City (i.e., non-immigrants).…”

Latent profile analysis was used to summarize profiles of depressive symptoms among a nationally representative sample of U.S.-born and Caribbean-born Blacks. Analyses are based on the responses of 4,915 African Americans and Caribbean Blacks from the National Survey of American Life. A high symptoms and a low symptoms class were identified. Age, gender, negative social interaction within the individual's social network (e.g., conflict demands, criticism) and racial discrimination were associated with depressive symptoms in the low symptoms class, whereas socioeconomic status, gender, emotional support and negative interaction were associated with depressive symptoms in the high symptoms class. The findings demonstrate the heterogeneity within the Black population in the USA and the distinct sociodemographic, family network and stress correlates of depressive symptoms for each latent class.

The Patient–Physician Clinical Encounter

The success or failure of clinical outcomes depends upon specific steps and variables that present during the clinical care process. As healthcare providers, we can control some of these steps and variables, but not others. The most important step in the clinical care process is the patient-physician clinical encounter or "what occurs in the examination room." We can control this most important and sensitive step. For emergency physicians, the clinical encounter represents an even greater challenge; we have only one window of opportunity to make a solid connection and produce a successful encounter. The provider may not know when a failed clinical encounter has occurred, but the patient always knows. The clinical encounter affects trust, patient comprehension, and follow-up, all vital for a positive clinical outcome.Successful encounters are thus valuable/important opportunities for the clinician.Health providers are responsible for establishing an environment for successful clinical encounters. In the examination room, patients are on the physician's turf as an equal partner and a guest and must be treated as both. The goal of the clinical encounter is to establish trust, to educate, and to increase the likelihood for patient follow-up and compliance. This chapter presents background information to support the significance of successful clinical encounters. The chapter will identify commonly-adopted norms and pitfalls physicians can experience and stress necessary cautions and levels of awareness that can aid in avoiding unintentional actions that perpetuate cycles of partial effectiveness and that lead to suboptimal outcomes. The chapter offers five elements for a successful strategy to achieve a positive patient-physician encounter in the examination room:Summary Points
