在这项研究中，作者介绍了对99名患有多发性硬化症（MS）的拉丁美洲人的调查结果，包括人口统计学，疾病和心理健康特征。十分之四的受访者报告了抑郁症状;一半的人认为他们比其他人更担心MS;大约29%的人认为他们在过去一年中需要心理健康护理。虽然76%的受访者对他们获得以MS为重点的护理非常满意，但只有61%的人对他们获得精神卫生保健非常满意。这些发现强调了精神健康和社会服务在拉美裔MS患者所需的综合护理中的作用。
In this study the authors present results from a survey of 99 Latinos with multiple sclerosis (MS), including demographic, disease, and mental health characteristics. Four in 10 respondents reported depressive symptoms; half thought they had more worries than other people due to their MS; and about 29% thought they needed mental health care in the past year. Whereas 76% of respondents were highly satisfied with their access to MS-focused care, only 61% were highly satisfied with their access to mental health care. These findings highlight the role of mental health and social services in the comprehensive care needed by Latinos with MS.
