Handbook of Multicultural Mental Health

Chapter 5. Race, Ethnicity, and the Epidemiology of Mental Disorders in Adults

By: Charles E. Holzer,Sam Copeland

This chapter provides highlights of historical studies on race, ethnicity, and the epidemiology of psychiatric disorders as well as discussion and data from recent studies such as the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys. Historically, comparisons of psychiatric disorder among racial/ethnic groups started with records of hospitalizations, progressed to use of symptom scales, and finally to use of diagnostic interviews. Initial comparisons focused on studying Whites versus Blacks and then expanded to comparisons of Whites, African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics of all races. More recent studies differentiate ancestries by national origin with particular emphasis on cross-national comparisons and first-generation immigrants. Recent reported rates of disorders among various ethnic groups in the United States are also discussed. Together these studies have broadened and deepened our understanding of ethnic and ancestry differences in a range of psychiatric disorders.

Living and Dying in the USA

Behavioral, Health, and Social Differentials of Adult Mortality

By: Richard G. Rogers,Robert A. Hummer,Charles B. Nam

The simplicity of using one data set in addressing the relationship of single variables to mortality distinguishes Living and Dying in the USA from other recent investigations of mortality. The authors use the recently released National Health Interview Survey and the National Death Index to make a definitive statement about demographics and mortality. By surveying demographic and sociocultural characteristics associated with mortality, socioeconomic effects, health-related conditions, and health status, they reveal connections among several factors related to mortality chances. Easily understood and cited, their study emphasizes the statistical methods underlying their revelations and invites readers to duplicate their results. Comprehensive coverage of US adult mortality differentials Based on a new and innovative data set Includes factors rarely examined in related mortality research Not only documents mortality differentials, but explores explanations for them Extensive list of references associated with each chapter Consistent, straightforward methodology used throughout aids readers in both understanding the content and in comparing results from chapter to chapter

Recent changes in the accepted treatment for invasive cervical cancer, and in many aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and evaluation of these cancers, make this discussion particularly timely.
