2018 – Depression Screening in a School Based Population in Port-Au-Prince

Hispanic young adult (18–26 years) males aremedically high risk and
are an underserved group. This population is less likely to have a usual
place for healthcare, have a doctor’s visit in the past year, have a well
check-up, and have the highest delay in care. This lack of healthcare
utilization makes it difficult to intervene in their health and offer solutions.
Successfully identifying and engaging this high-risk group in
an intervention that is socially and culturally adapted in preventive
healthcare remains a problem.
