SUMMARY:Older African Americans and Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Older African Americans and Mental Health \nSpeakers: Martha R. Crowther\, PhD\, MPH and Danielle McDuffie\, MA \nDate: Wednesday\, February 2\, 2022 \nTime: 10am–12pm PT/11am-1pm MT/12-2pm CT/1-3pm ET \nAfrican American older adults are more likely to be diagnosed with depression\, anxiety\, and dementia. Assessment of depression\, anxiety\, and dementia among African American elders is complicated by potential differences in symptom presentation or reporting and a lack of assessment instruments validated for use with ethnically diverse older populations. Disparities in treatment for African Americans elders are exacerbated for several reasons including\, failure to access formal treatment\, differences in symptomatology response to treatment\, lack of available mental health resources\, and stigma.   \nThe presentation will describe important issues for mental health researchers and service providers to consider when working with older African Americans. It also provides a review of the assessment\, diagnosis\, and treatment of depression\, anxiety\, and dementia among this population.   \nLearning Objectives:   \n\nRecognize the importance of understanding the historical context of the lives of older African Americans.\nRecognize the importance of eliciting the older African American’s perspective of his/her mental and physical health problems.\nElicit socio-cultural and spiritual beliefs that could influence older African Americans’ health care choices and access to care.\nEnhance knowledge of assessment\, diagnosis\, and treatment of major mental health disorders when working with older African Americans.  \n\nPlease register HERE. \nContinuing Education Information \nIn support of improving patient care\, Rush University Medical Center is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)\, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)\, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)\, to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. \nThis activity is being presented without bias and with/without commercial support. \nRush University Medical Center designates this live activity for a maximum of Two (2) AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.
