Suicide is the third leading cause of death for Latino/Hispanic youth 10- to 14-years-old in the United States and the second for 15- to 19-year-olds. Socio-Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Suicidal Behaviors (SCBT-SB) is a structured yet flexible intervention that emphasizes identity, family history, and culture, and it’s the first culturally specific treatment developed for Latino/Hispanic teens who are experiencing suicidal crisis. Preliminary research shows SCBT-SB has promise to reduce suicidal behavior. Learn about their findings: https://bit.ly/4ejBjZM #NIMHDResearch

Community health workers (CHWs) can serve as a vital link between communities and clinical research. That is why researchers from the New York CEAL Regional Team set out to enhance health literacy about clinical research among CHWs.

As someone who grew up in Wyoming, I saw firsthand the challenges faced by rural communities to access medical care and participate in medical research. Part of my vision as NIH Director is to ensure all Americans benefit from medical care informed by the latest scientific research. That’s why NIH is launching the Communities Advancing Research Equity for Health™, or CARE for Health™, that will integrate clinical research with community based primary care to improve health outcomes, particularly for those underrepresented in research and underserved in health care. Additionally, a public workshop will be hosted on Friday, June 7 from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET to share findings from a series of listening sessions on the challenges and opportunities for integrating research into primary care. #HealthcareAccess #ClinicalTrials #HealthEquity #HealthDisparities #research #science #healthcare #NIH

NIMHD is proud to do work that touches the lives of millions of Americans burdened by health disparities, including individuals from sexual and gender minority communities. During this Pride Month, find out more about recent studies that explore how discrimination impacts Black sexual minority men and transgender women.
Researchers asked whether discrimination results in depression among Black sexual minority men and transgender women in the Deep South. They also analyzed the role of disclosure to supportive parents serves as a buffer against discrimination and depressive symptoms. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3xynENE

NIMHD’s public servants are dedicated to the institute’s vision of an America in which all populations have an equal opportunity to live long, healthy and productive lives. Tim K., Chief Information Officer at NIMHD, shared the following reflection for Pride Month: “When I completed my undergraduate studies and was heading off to graduate school, I had not fully accepted myself as a gay man. When I look back on that time, I wish I could have shared where I am today with my younger self. In those first five years after graduating college, my life changed a lot. I became much surer of who I was, and this enabled me to meet my (eventual) husband, Jim. “As a gay man, I’m fortunate to have access to many great health resources where I live. However, in many places, access to similar resources is scarce for LGBTQI+ community members and other groups that experience health disparities. I’m excited that my work helps to reduce the health disparities that exist for fellow members of the LGBTQI+ community that aren’t as fortunate.” #PrideMonth

"Black Race Matters in the Latino Population," a strong title for an important publication co-authored by CEAL Co-chair and Director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), Dr. Eliseo J. Pérez-Stable. Did you know that ten percent of U.S. Latino adults identify as Afro-Latino or Black and Latino? This essay highlights the health research implications of the intersection of Black and Latino identities within the Latino population and calls for broader data analysis and more extensive research to understand the unique health needs of Afro-Latino individuals. Read the full publication to learn about the associations that have been found among self-identified Afro-Latino people and life expectancy, clinical events and disease incidence: https://lnkd.in/dBjmX7HA
