Suggested barriers were language and cultural issues. Gaps in the literature include a lack of agreement for definition of a mental health problem and the tools to identify these, insufficient studies into the barriers for Latino children in the access and utilization of mental health services, and cultural and language issues related to Latino research. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1538222/latino_disparities_in_child_mental_health_services" target="blank">www.redorbit.com/news/health/1538222/latino_disparities_in_child_mental_health_services</a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
