We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.

Session Number: 27 Room: Salon C

Presenting: Catherine Batsche; David Chiriboga; Mario Hernandez; Laurel Friedman Friedman

All Authors for this paper: Catherine Batsche; David Chiriboga; Mario Hernandez; Laurel Friedman Friedman

Presentation Type: topical discussion

Synopsis: In the literature and in practice, the concept of Òmental health disparitiesÓ carries with it many different (and often diverging) definitions and approaches to measurement and assessment. Based on a series of round table discussions occurring within the Minority Mental Health Interest Group (MMHI) housed at the Florida Mental Health Institute, this presentation is a continuation of a poster session with the same focus, which invited attendee participation. This discussion will offer a history of mental health disparities, present definitions of Òmental health disparities,Ó and begin to develop a more unified definition of mental health disparities.
