Research to tackle Hispanic concerns - The grants will research depression care and diabetes among Hispanics. - University of Southern California

“Assistant professor Leopoldo Cabassa is taking on two research grants. One is aimed at identifying the relationship between the Hispanic population and depression care and the other at the relationship between the Hispanic population and diabetes.

The most recent study, funded by a $36,000 grant from the Frances G. and Ernest P. Larson Endowed Fund for Innovative Research, is a continuation of Cabassa’s previous work exploring the Hispanic population’s perceptions of depression and their attitudes toward traditional types of depression care, such as counseling and medication.”
