DESCRIPTION:Despite the increasing emphasis on patient-centred care\, and t
 he significant potential for both positive and negative consequences assoc
 iated with Complementary Therapies\, very little is known about the treatm
 ent preferences among people living with mental health symptoms in Canada.
  Variation of preferences and use of mental health care exists across and 
 within cultures\, with some cultural groups being less accepting of treatm
 ents offered by health care professionals\, often with concerns related to
  medication. In particular\, Aboriginal peoples would like to access tradi
 tional indigenous healing approaches\, but they encounter barriers. Likewi
 se\, members of other cultural groups in North America who are indigenous 
 to other continents use healing approaches that have been passed down thro
 ugh generations. In Nova Scotia’s provincial mental health and addictions 
 strategy\, improving mental health care for Aboriginal\, African Nova Scot
 ian\, and new immigrant communities has been set as a priority based on a 
 provincial needs assessment\, which indicated that “many Nova Scotians who
  are members of specific communities have not been served sufficiently by 
 the mental health and addictions care systems for generations.”\n\nDr. Ing
 rid Waldron’s presentation will describe the methodology she and her Dalho
 usie colleagues are using in their pilot study to understand these issues 
 in Halifax Regional Municipality. This study explores the experiences and 
 views among adults from Indigenous\, Black Canadian\, White European\, and
  other culturally\, racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds towards pr
 escribed or self-directed treatments of depression or anxiety\, including:
  conventional health care\, complementary therapies\, and traditional Indi
 genous approaches. She will explore the recruitment\, data collection\, an
 d data analysis approaches and methods the study is employing to identify 
 how treatment experiences\, attitudes\, and preferences are shaped by vari
 ous aspects of race\, cultural ancestry and cultural identity\, age\, gend
 er\, social class\, education level\, religion (spiritual or faith-based)\
 , and medical diagnosis. She will also discuss how the study is identifyin
 g barriers and facilitators to accessing preferred care for mental health 
 symptoms\, as well as the factors influencing patient/health care professi
 onal shared decision making regarding treatment plans. Finally\, she will 
 provide an overview of the multi-pronged knowledge translation strategy th
 e team will be using to disseminate and mobilize data and knowledge from t
 he study.\n\n For more information on CRCF's research seminars\, please cl
