While Hispanics and/or Latinos might share a common language, the fact that they represent almost 20 countries highlights the importance of recognizing and learning about possible variables that are driving the heterogeneity in this group of patients and understanding the possible implications for a mental health assessment. To add to this complexity, cross-generational differences have been well documented with regard to mental health outcomes that can impact cognition. To this end, this session will identify a series of meta-themes that can help guide practitioners when making decisions about appropriate referrals for a patient of Hispanic or Latino descent. The topics of migration patterns and possible impact on social determinants of health in the United States, including education, religion, and possible cultural practices that should be considered when conducting an assessment, will be discussed. *All times listed are Eastern Time
