Engaging Community Stakeholders to Reduce Mental Health Inequities in the Hispanic Community

Engaging Community Stakeholders to Reduce Mental Health Inequities in the Hispanic CommunityHispanic individuals demonstrate similar rates of psychiatric disorders compared to those of their non-Hispanic, White counterparts. This webinar on September 21, 2023, explored the impact and significance of engaging community stakeholders in developing culturally responsive interventions, the need for implementation science to improve health and mental health care uptake in the Hispanic community, and the importance of bridging the gap between implementation science and health disparities research to diminish health inequities prevalent in racial and ethnic communities historically marginalized in health care. This webinar is part of the Office for Disparities Research and Workforce Diversity (ODWD) Webinar Series, and is designed for investigators conducting or interested in conducting research on mental health disparities, women’s mental health, minority mental health, and rural mental health.
