Özet:
The questions that this research project seeks to answer are two-fold: 1) What do we know about what contributes to poor health outcomes among Latino adults---in other words, what creates within group health differences?, and 2)What programs exist to address this problem of health disparities? The research project consists of two literature reviews. The first literature review found that poverty, mental health, whether or not individuals have a college degree, acculturation, discrimination, unplanned migration, citizenship status, living in public housing, and subjective social status were the major variables that impact the health outcomes of Latinos in the United States. The second literature review focused on psychoeducation programs with a focus on cardiovascular health improvement. All of the programs in the review had positive outcomes and the factors that were found to be effective included Spanish language interventions, mixed methods of instruction, provision of interventions locally, implementation of interventions by promotores (lay health workers), recruitment of participants by promotores, utilization of the media, and integrating psychoeducation into ESL classes. Implications for future research, practical applications, and social work policy are discussed.
