Addressing Implicit Bias in Mental Healthcare: A Novel Health Promotion Tool for the Treatment of Minority Mental Health Patients

Minority mental health patients face many health inequities and inequalities that may stem from implicit bias and a lack of cultural awareness from their healthcare providers. I analyzed the current literature evaluating implicit bias among healthcare providers and culturally specific life traumas that Latinos and African Americans face that can impact their mental health. Additionally, I researched a current mental health assessments tool, the Child and Adolescent Trauma Survey (CATS), and evaluated it for the use on Latino and African American patients. Face-to-face interviews with two healthcare providers were also used to analyze the CATS for its’ applicability to Latino and African American patients. Results showed that these assessments were not sufficient in capturing culturally specific life traumas of minority patients. Based on the literature review and analysis of the interviews with healthcare providers, a novel assessment tool, the Culturally Traumatic Events Questionnaire (CTEQ), was created to address the gaps that currently make up other mental health assessment tools used on minority patients.

Healthcare is necessary and vital to the longevity of our population. Countries with the resources to provide advanced healthcare have opted for a multitude of systems for providing care. This paper will examine the price of one drug (insulin) and what it demonstrates about the United States healthcare system. It will further present healthcare and the access to safe treatment as a human right, one which has been repeatedly trespassed for profit by the largest companies. The tactics taken by these companies, all through legal routes, prioritize profit over people. It ensures a lower quality of care and a suppression of new drug research. Insulin is a demonstrative drug for the state of healthcare in the United State. Its widespread use affects access to care and costs can be easily compared to prices in other developed countries. Although not the only drug with exorbitant prices, insulin pricing is an example of a troubling trend in healthcare.
