“The Culture of Emotions” is a 58-minute training videotape (2002) that discusses the DSM-IV Outline for Cultural Formulation. It features twenty three multidisciplinary experts in cultural psychiatry commenting on sections of the Outline. It was written, produced, and directed by Harriet Koskoff and is available through Fanlight Productions (www.fanlight.com). A Study Guide and annotated bibliography are available as downloads from the webpage describing the videotape.

Websites

1. The American Psychological Association Multicultural Guidelines are
available at www.apa.org/pi/multiculturalguidelines.pdf. This is a landmark document, supported by several APA divisions, that took 3 years to get through the APA structure.

Also, you can search "disparity" on the APA website at http://search3.apa.org/results.cfm.

2. Many of the National Institutes of Health have written strategic plans to reduce health disparities. Ones by NIDA, NIAAA, OSSR (approx sp.) + others can be found at http://healthdisparities .nih.gov/working/institutes.html. I could not access the NIMH one, although I have done so in the past.

3. The National Center on Minority Health + Health Disparities can be found
at www.ncmhd.nih.gov

4. The American Medical Association efforts on disparities can be seen at www. assn.org/ama/pub/article/2403-7066.html. Also you can check www.Ama-assn.org/go/diversity/healthdisparities.

5. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) sponsors a campaign to reduce health care disparities. The Henry J. Kaiser and Robert Wood Johnson foundations, along with the AAMC and nine other co-sponsoring health care associations, have launched a $1 million campaign to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in health care. This national initiative includes an outreach effort to engage physicians in dialogue; an advertising campaign in major medical publications; and a review of the evidence on racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare. The campaign begins with a focus on cardiac care and, as part of the effort, the American College of Cardiology and the Kaiser Foundation recently released a report listing racial and ethnic disparities in cardiac care.
