• Health disparities are differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality and burden of diseases and other adverse health conditions that exist among specific population groups in the United States (NIH, 1999 as cited in NCI, CRCHD, 2013).
Health Disparities
Hispanic and Latinos seeking addiction and mental health treatment confront barriers to
accessing culturally and linguistically competent care.
(Negron-Ayala, Delgado, & Cruz, 2006)
Barriers

• Culture
• Discrimination
• Misdiagnosis
• Workforce
(Guarnaccia, Martínez & Acosta, 2005)
Workforce

Disparities
• Few service models developed for the Hispanic and Latino population.

Hispanics in treatment research• Incomplete assessments• Biases, assumptions and stereotypes• Misdiagnosis
Issues in treatment for Hispanic and Latino Populations
