Ethnic Minority Populations

Depression is comorbid with anxiety, substance use, and medical conditions in majority and ethnic minority populations. Despite recognition of the growing diversity of racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States, there are significant mental health disparities among them. This chapter reviews literature on interventions of depressive disorders and other mental and medical health conditions in ethnic minority groups. It focuses on (1) the adult population, (1) treatment interventions, and (3) ethnic minority groups in the United States. This review illustrates that research on treatment of depression comorbidity is quite limited for ethnic minorities. Therefore this chapter also discusses how cultural adaptations of evidence-based interventions for major depression can further inform the extent to which interventions for depression comorbidity can be adapted for ethnic minority populations. Research gaps, recommendations, future directions, and treatment guidelines for practitioners related to depression comorbidity and ethnic minority groups are discussed.

Racial And Ethnic Minority

The United States is transitioning into the new millennium with actual and projected growth in racial and ethnic minority populations. However, racial minority customers remain underrepresented among those receiving services in vocational rehabilitation. Moreover, there is a differential rate of acceptance for customers from racial and ethnic minority and female populations and those who are White (non-Hispanic). While we recognize that the types of service received and severity of disability (and other variables), for example, are important variables to consider when examining VR Ineligibility discrepancies, studies that used these specific variables in relation to VR acceptance were scarce. This article examines the findings of past researchers who have explored the reasons for discrepancies within the vocational rehabilitation (VR) system. Future research and considerations for VR counselors are discussed.
