This chapter reviews research and conceptual issues involving the physical and mental health of African Americans. A summary of sociodemographic findings is followed by a discussion of the relationship of race, physical and mental health, with emphasis on the role of ethnic identity, racism, and discrimination in the prediction of the trajectory of physical and mental health in the African American community. Culturally sensitive guidelines are also provided in the context of assessing and treating African American clients.
