A decade has passed since the National Institute of Mental Health initiated its landmark Real Men Real Depression public education campaign. Despite increased awareness, depressed African American men continue to underutilize mental health treatment and have the highest all-cause mortality rates of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. We review a complex array of socio-cultural factors, including racism and discrimination, cultural mistrust, misdiagnosis and clinician bias, and informal support networks that contribute to treatment disparities. We identify clinical and community entry points to engage African American men. We provide specific recommendations for frontline mental health workers to increase depression treatment utilization for African American men. Providers who present treatment options within a frame of holistic health promotion may enhance treatment adherence. We encourage the use of multidisciplinary, community-based participatory research approaches to test our hypotheses and engage African American men in clinical research.

“…The growing demand for more holistic approaches to medical practice that began in the 1990s was stimulated primarily by patients’ dissatisfaction with reductions in time spent with physicians [92]. This demand is ever present, as time pressures have become even greater during the past decade and can only be expected to accelerate.…”

The current biomedical and psychosocial frameworks that form the conceptual basis of medicine today are insufficient to address the needs of the medically complex and environmentally challenged populations of patients often cared for by physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists. The expanded biopsycho-ecological model of health, illness, injury, and disability operating through mechanisms of Health Environmental Integration (HEI) encourages a more complete understanding of illness, injury, activity limitation, and participation restriction as arising at the interface between the person and the environment. HEI recognizes complex interacting multilevel functional hierarchies beginning at the cellular level and ending at the individual’s experience of the environment. Although the foci of illness and injury are within the body and mind, the physical and social environments contain elements that can cause or exacerbate disease and barriers that interact in ways that lead to injuries and disabilities. Furthermore, these environments hold the elements from which treating agents, facilitators, and social supports must be fashioned. The highly integrative biopsycho-ecological framework provides an expanded basis for understanding the objective causes and subjective meanings of disabilities. Disabilities are reduced through HEI by seeking to maximally integrate the body and mind (the self) with both the surrounding physical environment and other people in society. HEI offers mechanisms for interdisciplinary research, an expanded framework for education and empowerment, and a blueprint for optimizing day-to-day clinical care at both the individual patient and treatment population levels in the ever-changing scientific, political, and policy environments.

This article examines the impact religion and spirituality have on the quality of life for adult oncology patients. A diagnosis of cancer can be shocking news for many patients. Many people who have a cancer diagnosis believe that they have impending death with no hope for recovery. For some, religion and spirituality can be essential resources that assist cancer patients to cope with this diagnosis. Some sources of religion and spirituality include faith, hope, and meaning of life for an individual. Research findings support that a religious and spiritual perspective decreases depression, lowers anxiety, and promotes adherence to the treatment of cancer [1]. Findings from 18 qualitative and quantitative articles were analyzed to gather an understanding on the impact of spirituality and religion on the quality of life for oncology patients. These articles suggest that inclusion of religious and spiritual needs of oncology patients can significantly increase the quality of life for oncology patients.
