Research Report
Numerous studies have analyzed what factors may contribute to Latinxs’ low use of mental health services, such as age, migration pattern, language ability, exposure to political violence, traumatic experience, country of origin, and more. However, with the exception of Fortuna, et al. (2008), few studies on Latinx use of services have tried to provide a theoretical framework to give the historical, social, political, or life-course context as to why services use is higher for some Latinxs and lower for others.
