The Race and Cultural Experiences (RACE) Research Lab

The Race and Cultural Experiences (RACE) Research Lab studies predictors of mental health use among diverse communities. More recently, projects have explored the role of social, cultural, and contextual factors on mental health. Current research goals are to: (1) elucidate correlates and predictors of child mental health services utilization among diverse populations, (2) identify mechanisms of help-seeking and (3) develop interventions to improve mental health literacy and adherence to treatment.
