Latinos with serious mental illness get sick and die much younger than other adults. In this paper, we review findings of a community based participatory research project meant to identify important healthcare needs, barriers to these needs, solutions to the barriers, and the promise of peer navigators as a solution. Findings from focus groups reflected general concerns of people with mental illness (e.g., insurance, engagement, accessibility) and Latinos with serious mental illness (e.g., immigration, language, and family). Feedback and analyses especially focused on the potential of peer navigators. Implications of these findings for integrated care of Latinos with serious mental illness are discussed.
患有严重精神疾病的拉丁裔比其他成年人患病和死亡的年龄要小得多。在本文中，我们回顾了一个基于社区的参与性研究项目的结果，该项目旨在确定重要的医疗保健需求、这些需求的障碍、障碍的解决方案以及同伴导航员作为一种解决方案的前景。焦点小组的结果反映了精神疾病患者（如保险、参与度、可及性）以及患有严重精神疾病的拉丁裔（如移民、语言和家庭）的普遍关切。反馈和分析尤其关注同伴导航员的潜力。本文讨论了这些结果对患有严重精神疾病的拉丁裔综合护理的影响。
