“…In our sample, nearly three quarters of Island PR and over half of RI Latino families reported some CAM use, whereas only one fifth of NLW families reported using CAM. Results are consistent with previous research demonstrating a high prevalence of CAM use in Latino families (17, 30). …”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…For example, the use of camphor rubs (such as Vicks Vaporub) has often been cited as a common therapy in the Puerto Rican community. 8,9 Our study supports this and shows that usage of these common remedies continues to exist over time and through generations. The use of camphor rubs is not exclusive to Puerto Ricans, though, as can be documented in the literature, 10 as well as in the present study.…”

“…Suarez, Raffaelli, and O'Leary (1996) reported that nearly half of their sampled HIV-positive Latinos believed spirits had a causal role in their infection, and two thirds used folk healing for the reduction of physical pain, spiritual relief, or protection from evil. Similar beliefs and health-seeking practices among Latinos have also been reported for the treatment of bowel complaints (Zuckerman, Guerra, Drossman, Poland, & Gregory, 1996), asthma (Pachter, Cloutier, & Bernstein, 1995), and diabetes (Zaldivar & Smolowitz, 1994).…”
