Study: Computerized System Breaks Down Language Barrier To Treat Depression In Spanish-Speaking Populations – Dr. Gerardo Gonzalez, Dean of Graduate Studies and Associate Vice President for Research, California State University, San Marcos

“Not everyone will admit to being depressed, and to make matters complicated, minority populations are less likely to seek mental health treatment. Furthermore, for the growing Latino population across the United States, there are limited resources for Spanish-speaking Latinos to obtain mental health treatment.

“It’s true. There is a stigma across different racial groups, and that’s still a challenge,” says Dr. Gerardo Gonzalez, dean of graduate studies and associate vice president for research at California State University, San Marcos.

That’s why Gonzalez has conducted studies to better enhance medical attention for the Latino population that is dealing with depression.”
