“…459-460) The authors also direct attention to a study by Akutsu, Snowden, and Organista (1996), which examined how Chicanos were referred to and entered the mental health system; the study found that compared to European Americans, Chicanas/os in mainstream mental health programs were more likely to be referred by criminal justice services, social services, or health services. More recently, complementary research that focused directly on minority youth found that when provided mental health treatment, such youth are more likely to be served in more restrictive out-of-home centers or juvenile probation settings (Pumariega & Vance, 1999). In one study, African Americans and non-Hispanic White Americans in these facilities had been referred for mental health evaluations in a juvenile justice system at a higher rate than Latino youth, even though Latinos composed more than 50% of the detained population (Wordes, Bynum, & Corley, 1994).…”

This reaction provides a general overview of the articles on Chicana(o) mental health issues. Summaries of the respective articles are provided. Selective aspects of each article are highlighted and serve as the basis for making critical comments and recommendations relative to the topics addressed in the articles. Out of a desire to provoke thought regarding other topics that merit attention, an overview of two research topics is provided-one that exemplifies how the research reviewed in the articles can be applied in innovative mental health settings and one that, I believe, directs attention to a new perspective relative to understanding Chicana(o) mental health. In addition to these two topics other topics that beg to be studied are identified.

“…Mental health services for children and adolescents have evolved over time improving access to services and utilization of services. Pumariega and Vance (1999) found that mental health services have gone through clinical and cost effectiveness improvements to provide expanded mental health services to children and adolescents in their own communities. Rones and Hoagwood (2000) found that schools are the major providers of mental health services for children and adolescents.…”

“…Rones and Hoagwood (2000) found that schools are the major providers of mental health services for children and adolescents. Pumariega and Vance (1999) found that school-based mental health services provide the foundation for the ultimate goal of children's mental health services, which is to fully integrate services to families within the fabric of their community and culture. The authors found that pilot programs exist, that blend community-based mental health care and school services, to provide better service access and delivery for students.…”

“…Today, as services change and providers of these services become more familiar with the needs of the children, mental health services are continuing to move closer to the goal of being fully integrated within the community and culture. Pfeiffer and Reedy (1998) and Pumariega and Vance (1999) detail the historical progression of children's mental health services in the United States. Counseling services for children and adolescents began in the United States in response to the perceived need for counseling students who were juvenile offenders, rather than incarcerating them with adults.…”

“…The provision of mental health services within the educational setting is something that has been happening since the late 1800's (Pumariega and Vance, 1999). Initially, according to Porter, Epp, and Bryan (2000), these services were designed to prevent or reduce truancy or delinquency in youths.…”

Effectiveness of "counseling as a related service" in Hawaii's public schools as measured by the Behavior Assessment System for Children, Second Edition (BASC-2)

This study examined the effectiveness of "counseling as a related service" in Hawaii's public schools by examining the improvement on a teacher rating scale and also examining counseling minutes received by these same students. This study utilized 346 students receiving Level 4 and Level 5 services who were first refereed for "counseling as a related service" during the first quarter of 2055. Improvement is measured using the Behavioral Assessment System for Children, Second Edition (BASC-2) (Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2004). Findings revealed that counseling interventions indicated statistically significant change in T Scores on the BASC-2 from Pre assessment to Post assessment. Multivariate Analyses of Variance were performed on composite scales and subscales of the BASC-2 at Pre assessment and Post assessment to address the main function of this paper. Follow-up ANOVAs were performed where statistically indicated. This study also examined the impact of minutes of specific counseling interventions (individual counseling, group counseling, and family education) on change in T Scores from Pre assessment to Post assessment on the BASC-2 TRS. The specific counseling minutes did not indicate a statistically significant change as was hypothesized. Regression analyses and correlation analyses were performed with no statistically significant results. T Scores were grouped into categories of significance and examined using Chi-Square analyses. Results indicate statistically significant results. Also discussed are clinical applications and suggestions for future research.

The present study describes a comprehensive, day treatment program conducted in public school classrooms for children with serious emotional disorders (SED) and presents data evaluating program efficacy. Behavioral outcomes are presented for 142 children, ages 5 to 18 years, over the course of an academic year. Treatment efficacy was assessed using a behavioral outcome measure, the Youth Outcome Questionnaire. At initial evaluation, all children were exhibiting emotional symptoms beyond the scope of outpatient services, with 97% being classified as having a Severe Emotional Disorder. At the 9-month follow-up, 50.7% of the sample showed overall symptom reduction, and 27.5% scored below clinical cutoff levels, indicating remission of symptoms to within normal limits. Treatment response was equally likely among boys and girls, and across diagnostic categories. Elementary school-aged children and adolescents made equivalent gains in the program; however, mixed-model, repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a significant group ϫ time interaction ( p Ͻ .05), indicating that these groups showed different patterns of improvement over time.
