A new brief from the National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families shows that over one third of Latino parents have experienced a mental health disorder at some point in their lives—a lower rate than among non-Hispanic parents. To help Latino parents cope with mental health disorders, researchers suggest that the mental health field provide culturally informed, responsive, and sensitive care that recognizes the diversity of the Latino community. Researchers analyzed data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III) to describe the overall prevalence of mental health disorders among Hispanic parents, as well as variation in prevalence by country of heritage and country of birth (inside or outside the United States).
