“…This points to the need to pursue alternate avenues in addressing ethnic and racial disparities in mental health, in particular, avenues that allow for the integration of mental health interventions into the everyday life of ethnic minority and immigrant children and families. For example, one promising approach employs community-based participatory methods in which the communities themselves are active, equal partners in designing interventions that are culturally congruent and acceptable (Stacciarini et al 2011). As researchers and practitioners partner with local ethnic and immigrant communities, the CIE can serve as a guiding framework for developing culturally and community-driven approaches to bringing mental health interventions to the doorsteps of ethnic minority and immigrant families.…”

Despite the central role culture plays in racial and ethnic disparities in mental health among ethnic minority and immigrant children and families, existing measures of engagement in mental health services have failed to integrate culturally specific factors that shape these families' engagement with mental health services. To illustrate this gap, the authors systematically review 119 existing instruments that measure the multi-dimensional and developmental process of engagement for ethnic minority and immigrant children and families. The review is anchored in a new integrated conceptualization of engagement, the culturally infused engagement model. The review assesses culturally relevant cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral mechanisms of engagement from the stages of problem recognition and help seeking to treatment participation that can help illuminate the gaps. Existing measures examined four central domains pertinent to the process of engagement for ethnic minority and immigrant children and families: (a) expressions of mental distress and illness, (b) causal explanations of mental distress and illness, (c) beliefs about mental distress and illness, and (d) beliefs and experiences of seeking help. The findings highlight the variety of tools that are used to measure behavioral and attitudinal dimensions of engagement, showing the limitations of their application for ethnic minority and immigrant children and families. The review proposes directions for promising research methodologies to help intervention scientists and clinicians improve engagement and service delivery and reduce disparities among ethnic minority and immigrant children and families at large, and recommends practical applications for training, program planning, and policymaking.

“…Sería necesario poder ampliar estos resultados con una muestra mayor. Por otra parte, sería interesante poder contrastar estos resultados con la visión que poseen los propios residentes del hogar/residencia; para ello, se podría trabajar bajo un modelo de investigación basada en la participación de la comunidad que promueva durante el proceso los principios del modelo de SMC que se desean potenciar (Stacciarini, Shattell, Coady, & Wiens, 2011).…”

Los hogares y residencias protegidas son elementos centrales de la red asistencial que atiende a personas con un diagnóstico de trastorno mental severo, dentro del modelo de salud mental comunitaria. Este modelo tiene como uno de sus propósitos centrales estimular la autonomía y participación social de los usuarios. Se evaluó la restrictividad presente en estos dispositivos y factores asociados a su predicción. Se evaluaron 21 servicios residenciales mediante la escala de prácticas restrictivas que se aplicó a un cuidador por lugar. Se observó que estos dispositivos poseen un nivel de restrictividad que limita la capacidad para tomar decisiones de los residentes en aspectos de su vida. Esta situación dificulta el empoderamiento y la participación de las personas en la comunidad.

“…Marcus et al (64) explicitly utilized principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR), where members of the target population are engaged in the entire research process from planning, implementation, analysis, and evaluation (77). A recent review concluded that CBPR has "great potential for helping reduce mental health treatment disparities among minorities and other underserved populations" (78). Church-based, collaborative research processes could help build trust and reduce stigma associated with research that is especially strong in the African American community (8,(79)(80)(81).…”

Objective-African Americans, compared to White Americans, underutilize traditional mental health services. A systematic review is presented of studies involving church-based health promotion programs (CBHPP) for mental disorders among African Americans to assess the feasibility of utilizing such programs to address racial disparities in mental health care.Methods-A literature review of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and ATLA Religion databases was conducted to identify articles published between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 2009. Inclusion criteria included the following: studies were conducted in a church; primary objective(s) involved assessment, perceptions/attitudes, education, prevention, group support, or treatment for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV mental disorders or their correlates; number of participants was reported; qualitative and/or quantitative data were reported; and African Americans were the target population.Results-Of 1,451 studies identified, 191 studies were eligible for formal review. Only eight studies met inclusion criteria for this review. The majority of studies focused on substance related disorders (n=5), were designed to assess the effects of a specific intervention (n=6), and targeted adults (n=6). One study focused on depression and was limited by a small sample size of seven participants. (8), and barriers to access, like lack of insurance (9). Given the debilitating nature of mental disorders (10), especially among African Americans (11), identifying ways to increase mental health service utilization in the Black community is a vital public health concern. Conclusion-AlthoughChurch-based health promotion programs (CBHPP) have received growing interest as a way to reduce health disparities among African Americans (12, 13). As defined by Ransdell (14), church-based health promotion consists of "a large-scale effort by the church community to improve the health of its members through any combination of education, screening, referral, treatment, and group support." The Black Church, classically defined as one of the seven predominantly African American denominations of the Christian faith, is a trusted, central institution in many African American communities that has been used as a setting for the delivery of health, social, civic, and political services (15). CBHPP have been used successfully in African American churches to address health disparities for numerous medical conditions such as cancer (16-21), diabetes (22-25), weight loss and obesity (26-31), cardiovascular disease and hypertension (32-35), asthma (36), and HIV/AIDS (37, 38).DeHaven et al. (39) conducted a systematic review of 53 general health programs in faithbased organizations conducted between 1990 through 2000 to determine the effectiveness of these programs in providing healthcare services. Importantly, they concluded that faithbased programs can improve health outcomes. However, only two of the articles in the review identified mental illness as the study's primary focus. In one of these studie...
