This timely volume examines the potential of integrated care in providing effective, accessible behavioral healthcare for Latino clients. The integrated care model is discussed in practical terms, with guidelines for the addressing the needs of Latinos in a coordinated, patient-focused setting. Specific points of attention include common behavioral and medical/mental health conditions (e.g., depression, chronic pain, tobacco use), special considerations in working with Puerto Rican and Cuban clients, and recommendations for working with children. These important issues are considered against the backdrop of opportunities and challenges inherent in integrated care and its implementation, in addition to the relevance of evidence-based interventions for this large and diverse population.

Among the topics covered:

  • Latino trends and health policy: from walking on eggshells to commitment

  • Integrated health care for Latino immigrants and refugees: what do they need?

  • Using a translator in integrated care settings

  • Enhancing and improving treatment engagement with Hispanic patients

  • Integrated depression care among Latinos

  • Chronic disease management and integrated care among Hispanic populations

Health psychologists, social workers, family physicians, and clinical psychologists will find Enhancing Behavioral Health in Latino Populations an important resource for their professional development, as well as part of the ongoing movement toward reduced disparities and more inclusive and culturally attuned care.
