abstract="This study analyzed the perceptions of 136 mental health providers toward the consideration ofculturalfactors in the evaluation of Hispanic children and adolescents. <br><br>RESULTS show that the providers overwhelmingly perceived that cultural issues are important and need to be considered in their evaluations. However, only 54% considered themselves as highly successful in assessing the degree of acculturation, and a higher percentage (69%) reported a high degree of needfor more culturally focused training. The results suggest that a lack of cultural training might be more related to an inability to access training than a lack of understanding of the importance of cultural issues.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
