چکیده
Latinos are the nation’s largest minority, and one of its fastest growing as it is stated by the Pew Research Center. Latinos are expected to make up nearly one-fourth of the population by 2050. It would be safe to assume there would be many resources available and help tailored for the nation’s largest minority but it’s actually the opposite. There is a huge health disparity in the US, where Latinos are at high risk for many chronic diseases and mental illnesses but 33% of Hispanics are uninsured, compared to 16% percent of all Americans (US Census 2008). Therefore, the goal of this literature review is to provide an understanding of the Latino culture, its barriers and how interventions that use music may be possible treatments for mental illness in the Latino community. The research will explore themes through out the literature. This includes: Benefits for constituents, Benefits for certain types of groups (regarding gender, age and ethnicity), Structures of the intervention and its impact on participant response, Different types of art and how it was used in the intervention, and Condition the intervention works for (e.g. Self Efficacy, Self Evaluation). The literature will give insight to how effective music is as strategy to reach low-socioeconomic Latinos who experience mental illness.
