通过对波多黎各人和其他西班牙裔美国人心理健康的流行病学文献的回顾,作者认为,在流行病学研究中缺乏对文化问题的关注留下了许多未解决的问题,并引起了对该领域研究有效性的担忧。作者指出,经过30年的研究,人们对纽约市波多黎各人的心理健康状况仍然知之甚少。在发展跨文化精神病学研究中,文化反应风格和文化上有意义的痛苦表达在形成对研究访谈的反应中的作用应该是中心关注的问题。
Through a review of the epidemiological literature on the mental health of Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics, the authors argue that lack of attention to cultural issues in epidemiological studies leaves many questions unanswered and raises concerns about the validity of studies in this area. The authors point out that the mental health status of Puerto Ricans in New York City is still poorly understood after 30 years of research. The roles of cultural response styles and of culturally meaningful expressions of distress in shaping responses to research interviews should be central concerns in developing research in cross-cultural psychiatry.
