The Role of Patient/Provider Interactions in Mental Health Disparities
In this talk, Professor Ni will discuss her new paper on how interactions between mental healthcare providers and their patients can be an important contributor to racial/ethnic disparities in mental health. Specifically, social psychological research has shown that biases, including stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination, can affect patient-provider interactions and contribute to mental health disparities. Recommendations for how to reduce biases will be discussed.
The Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts Brown Bag Series is always free, open to faculty, staff, students, and the public, and provides a congenial interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of recent research by the HSSA faculty. See the information below for upcoming brown bag talks.
