This same basic procedure was replicated with reviews that emerged from the search (Huey Jr. & Polo, 2008;Jani et al, 2009;Miranda et al, 2005;Rosenthal, 2000).…”

Despite Census Bureau projections that youth from minority cultures will comprise the majority of the nation's youth in approximately a decade, little research has been conducted on culturally sensitive interventions (CSIs). Accordingly, this study sought to determine: (1) the effectiveness of CSIs designed to address health and behavioral health outcomes, (2) whether effectiveness varies depending on the class or type of outcome, and (3) whether race/ethnicity moderates effectiveness. The results suggest that CSIs (n = 21) are modestly effective (Hedges' g = .239, 95% C.I. = .139 to .339, p < .001). Effectiveness did not vary significantly by outcome class or by race/ethnicity. Especially in the latter case, however, the pattern of point estimates raises the possibility of moderation with an increase in power. Suggestions for future research conclude the article.

“…This case study illustrates the successful application of integrative psychodynamic treatment for a Latina woman experiencing ataque de nervios. Significant conceptual and theoretical literature pertaining to Latino mental health suggests a strong bias against the use of psychodynamic approaches with Latinos (Rosenthal Gelman, 2003); however, practice outcome research reveals scarce data to support this position (Rosenthal, 2000).…”

With the evolving demographics in the U.S. population, Latinos are the largest racial/ethnic community in the United States and face many barriers to psychological well-being and overall health. Some Latinos present with culturally influenced idioms of distress such as ataque de nervios. Associations between ataque de nervios and a range of social and psychiatric vulnerabilities among Latinos living on the United States mainland have been found. An integrative, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive psychodynamic perspective can help with understanding and treating ataque de nervios. This case study presents the treatment of a young undocumented Latina mother experiencing ataque de nervios. A psychodynamic approach, integrated with narrative therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, is illustrated.

“…Rosenthal conducted two reviews (Rosenthal Gelman, 2003;Rosenthal, 2000) pertaining to Latino intervention studies. Both of these literature reviews focused exclusively on psychotherapeutic treatment among Latinos.…”

“…Both of these literature reviews focused exclusively on psychotherapeutic treatment among Latinos. In the first review (Rosenthal, 2000), 25 studies from 1973 to 1999 were reviewed and divided into four areas: behavioral interventions, psychodynamic and individually centered interventions, culturally sensitive interventions, and family interventions. The author concludes that there is a "lack of systematic, rigorous work on Latino practice outcome research" (p. 233).…”

“…Although two of the aforementioned reviews look at research done on Latino populations, they include mostly theoretical research that reports on variables that may be important in creating interventions, and they call for intervention outcome research in which the intervention contains a cultural component. Although Rosenthal (2000) does review only outcome intervention studies, she reviews studies only through 1999, the review is focused on mental health alone, and it does not control for culturally based interventions. This study has a narrower focus than previously reported work-it is limited to only specific areas of practice and outcome studies that meet a degree of empirical rigor-and it uses interventions specifically designed for Latinos as described by Marin (1993) and Medina (2001).…”

Objective: This article is a review of outcome studies focusing on three social work fields of service—health, substance abuse, and mental health—in which Latinos were significantly represented in the sample and interventions developed to attend to cultural factors. Method: Data were collected from a search of several English language social science indexes to identify experimental or quasi-experimental studies published between 1999 and 2005 focusing on measuring the effect of cultural adaptations of interventions with Latino populations. Results: Twenty-three studies were located and reviewed. Findings are discussed in this article. Conclusions: Most studies with positive outcomes for Latinos used some culturally tailored variation of cognitive theory in the therapeutic intervention. The authors advocate for a mixed methods approach to future studies of Latinos.
