Community Mental Health Services for Hispanics: A Test of the Culture Compatibility Hypothesis

Michael J. O'Sullivan

Loyola Marymount University

It has been reported repeatedly thatHispanics underuse available mental health services because those services were not compatible with Hispanic culture. Data collected and presented in an earlier study were further analyzed to determine whetherHispanic clients remained in treatment longer if they were served by Hispanic staffandlor at an Hispanic community mental health center. These clients were found to have lower dropout rates and to have received more individual therapy, than did those who received services from non-Hispanic personnel and/or agencies. The implications of these findings for enhancing the use of mental health services by Hispanics are discussed.
