DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of the Idaho Partnership for Hispanic Mental Health phase one planning project is to reduce disparities in mental health treatment among Hispanics in southwest Idaho, who are primarily an immigrant population of Mexican origin. The project's first step will be to conduct a community assessment which will: 1) further knowledge about Hispanics' perceptions and beliefs about mental illness, and behaviors and preferences regarding mental health treatment, and 2) assess southwest Idaho's mental health provider organizations' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding their services to Hispanic individuals, and gaps in service access and provision for Hispanics. As barriers to Hispanics access and use of mental health services are already well-documented, the purpose of this community assessment will be to inform the improvement of mental health service delivery. The project will use a community-based participatory research approach. Project partners include Mountain States Group, the University of Washington, Centro de Comunidad y Justicia, Dr. Al Sanchez (Hispanic mental health consultant), and an existing Hispanic Health Community Advisory Board. Strong equitable partnerships between the research organizations and the Hispanic community have already been established. All have participated in formulating the proposal's research design, which includes semi-structured interviews with 240 adult Hispanics residing in southwest Idaho, and open-ended interviews with 35 southwest Idaho mental health services providers. The project's data findings, supplemented by secondary data research, will be used to prioritize infrastructure development and capacity building actions to respond to Hispanics' mental health service needs. The research and community partners will form two specific action plans, one for implementing community-based and culturally appropriate mental health services interventions, and a second for conducting mental health service provider training to improve their understanding, skills, policies, and practices in working with the Hispanic community. Phase one activities will lead to the submission of a full research proposal to implement the recommendations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: To work effectively, health care providers need to understand the differences in how various populations in the United States perceive mental health and mental illness and treatment services (Healthy People 2010). The Idaho Partnership for Hispanic Mental Health will contribute to the understanding of Hispanics' perceptions and beliefs about mental illness and mental health treatment. Findings will be used to improve the cultural relevance, responsiveness, and accessibility of community-based mental health services for southwest Idaho Hispanics.

描述（由申请人提供）：爱达荷州西班牙裔心理健康伙伴关系第一阶段规划项目的主要目标是减少爱达荷州西南部西班牙裔人（主要是墨西哥裔移民）在心理健康治疗方面的差异。该项目的第一步将是进行社区评估，该评估将：1）进一步了解西班牙裔人对精神疾病的看法和信念，以及有关心理健康治疗的行为和偏好，2）评估爱达荷州西南部的心理健康提供者组织在为西班牙裔个人提供的服务方面的知识、态度和做法，以及为西班牙裔人提供服务的机会和提供方面的差距。由于西班牙裔人获得和使用心理健康服务的障碍已被充分记录，因此本次社区评估的目的将是为改善心理健康服务提供提供信息。该项目将采用基于社区的参与性研究方法。项目合作伙伴包括 Mountain States Group、华盛顿大学、Centro de Comunidad y Justicia、Al Sanchez 博士（西班牙裔心理健康顾问）以及现有的西班牙裔健康社区咨询委员会。研究组织和西班牙裔社区之间已经建立了强有力的平等伙伴关系。所有人都参与了该提案研究设计的制定，其中包括对居住在爱达荷州西南部的 240 名成年西班牙裔美国人进行半结构化访谈，以及对爱达荷州西南部的 35 名心理健康服务提供者进行开放式访谈。该项目的数据发现，辅以二手数据研究，将用于确定基础设施开发和能力建设行动的优先顺序，以满足西班牙裔的心理健康服务需求。研究和社区合作伙伴将制定两项具体行动计划，一项用于实施基于社区且适合文化的心理健康服务干预措施，另一项用于开展心理健康服务提供者培训，以提高他们与西班牙裔社区合作的理解、技能、政策和实践。第一阶段的活动将导致提交完整的研究提案以实施这些建议。 公共卫生相关性：为了有效工作，医疗保健提供者需要了解美国不同人群对心理健康、精神疾病和治疗服务的看法差异（Healthy People 2010）。爱达荷州西班牙裔心理健康伙伴关系将有助于了解西班牙裔美国人对精神疾病和心理健康治疗的看法和信念。研究结果将用于提高爱达荷州西南部西班牙裔社区心理健康服务的文化相关性、响应能力和可及性。
