| The Latino and Asian American populations of the United States are growing at a rate that far outstrips the research capacity necessary to understand the nature of their risks for psychiatric disorders, and to respond to their mental health service needs. The National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) is a national psychiatric epidemiologic study being conducted to measure psychiatric disorders and mental health service usage in a representative sample of Asians and Latinos. Using this cutting edge data set, this session discusses the following topics in the area of multicultural mental health: 1) central issues and research gaps in psychiatric epidemiology, 2) social support levels and differential use of mental health services, 3) service disparities, 4) insurance vulnerabilities for poor insurance outcomes, and 5) the impact of mental disorders on labor market success. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1) To use multiple disciplinary perspectives to obtain awareness of the central issues in psychiatric epidemiology that are particularly relevant to multicultural populations. 2) To identify gaps in psychiatric epidemiology research with multicultural populations. | |||
