“…There has been a surge in the number of studies focusing on minority mental health issues, and increasing recognition of the need to deepen the understanding of the mental health features of non-White samples versus White samples, in order to make the currently-defined diagnoses more applicable to a range of individuals (Alacón et al, 2009). Yet, while this interest is growing, there still remains a dearth of information about the mental health picture of non-White race-ethnic groups in the United States (Suinn & Borrayo, 2008). …”

In order to examine race-ethnic differences in the lifetime prevalence rates of common anxiety disorders, we examined data from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Studies (CPES). The samples included 6,870 White Americans, 4,598 African Americans, 3,615 Hispanic Americans, and 1,628 Asian Americans. White Americans were more likely to be diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder than African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. African Americans more frequently met criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder than White Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. Asian Americans were also less likely to meet the diagnoses for generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder than Hispanic Americans, and were less likely to receive social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder diagnoses than White Americans. The results suggest that race and ethnicity need to be considered when assigning an anxiety disorder diagnosis, and possible reasons for the observed differences in prevalence rates between racial groups are discussed.

“…Among all U.S. CBPR-related publications, racial/ethnic minorities and other marginalized communities account for 85% of all samples and 86% of CBPR-related publications within psychology. In contrast, psychology has traditionally struggled to engage underrepresented populations and to meaningfully incorporate culture into research questions and designs (Suinn & Borrayo, 2008). WEIRD samples (western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) account for the majority of psychological research samples (Arnett, 2008;Heinrich et al, 2010).…”

We examine the field of psychology's utilization of CBPR and review 1912 CBPR articles. Approximately 16% of manuscripts (n = 311) met our criteria for psychology-related CBPR articles. Of these, only 21% were published in mainstream psychology journals. Racial/ethnic and marginalized communities account for 85% of all U.S. CBPR-related study samples. Additional efforts could increase the use of CBPR within the field of psychology.

“…Evidence shows that there is still cultural and linguistic underrepresentation in the mental health educational pipeline (Holliday et al, 1997). Mental health has been largely unsuccessful in attracting culturally and linguistically diverse individuals (Suinn & Borrayo, 2008). For example, while African Americans comprise approximately 13% of the U.S. population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011), they constitute 3.1% of psychiatrists and 2% of psychologists (SAMHSA, 2012).…”

Historically, the mental health system has not effectively addressed the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse individuals (President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, 2003), which has contributed to significant racial and ethnic disparities in mental health care (USDHHS, 2001). This paper focuses on exploring how a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Minority Health policy initiative, the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) in Health and Health Care (or the National CLAS Standards), may be used by mental health agencies to reduce mental health care disparities. The National CLAS Standards are a set of action steps that inform and facilitate the implementation of culturally and linguistically appropriate services. We first discuss the role of cultural and linguistic competency in mental health care disparities reduction efforts, and then describe specific strategies to facilitate the organizational implementation of the National CLAS Standards.
