Mental Health and Latino/a College Students: A Psychological Perspective and New Findings
Del Pilar, Jose A.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v8 n3 p263-281 2009
This psychologically oriented study examined the use of mental health services by Latino/a college students. Significant differences were found between Latinos/as and non-Latinos/as on four variables: Latinos/as tended to live at home, have more children, be foreign born, and have past depression. Because the data for the Latino/a students revealed subtle signs of psychological distress, such as past depression and indications of suicidal behavior, it was hypothesized that low-level distress could be affecting Latino/a students. Finally, recommendations are made. (Contains 4 tables.)
