The article involves a group of psychiatrists who give their views on factors which affect the utilization of mental health. The article overly suggests that the society has been historically sensitive to physical impairment than emotional impairment. This therefore affects the assessment of mental health by the individuals themselves. The reluctance of the people to assume that they are not emotionally affected by their mental problem has submerged the utilization of mental health.

Sometimes, these areas have high population densities but little infrastructure and few social resources. When overlaid with the fact that housing in unincorporated areas is often less expensive than in surrounding cities because property taxes are not paid to run a local municipal government (King et al. 2009; Sokolow 2000), the lack of resources becomes a social justice issue. Indeed, in places where housing is expensive, unincorporated areas can become the most viable option for low-wage earners.

Background: Health assessments are used to prioritize community-level health concerns, but the role of individuals' health concerns and experiences is unknown. We sought to understand to what extent community health assessments reflect health concerns of the community-at-large versus a representation of the participants sampled. Methods: We conducted a health assessment survey in 30 rural African American churches (n = 412). Multivariable logistic regression produced odds ratios examining associations between personal health concern (this health concern is important to me), personal health experience (I have been diagnosed with this health issue) and community health priorities (this health concern is important to the community) for 20 health issues. Results: Respondents reported significant associations for 19/20 health conditions between personal health concern and the ranking of that concern as a community priority (all P < 0.05). Inconsistent associations were seen between personal health experience of a specific health condition and the ranking of that condition as a community priority. Conclusions: Personal health concerns reported by individuals in a study sample may impact prioritization of community health initiatives. Further research should examine how personal health concerns are formed.

Health

Fort Bend County has been recognized as a place with generally positive health outcomes. In the

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s annual county health rankings, Fort Bend County was

ranked 13th out of 232 ranked counties in Texas for its overall health outcomes. Despite this

success, there are several issues in the health arena that pose a threat to the quality of life of

children across Fort Bend County. A recurring theme in conversations about child health was the

notion that many children lacked a medical home and access to care. Access to mental health

services is one of the biggest health gaps throughout the county. There is a shortage of mental

health professionals in the county and children with mental health issues are being serviced

through improper channels such as emergency rooms and the juvenile justice system. Access to

care is also threatened by the lack of health insurance; over 23,000 children across the county are

uninsured. Another common theme concerning access to care was the lack of a safety net for

specialty care. Uninsured and low-income children are likely to be able to obtain primary care

but specialty care is much more difficult to obtain. Finally, community members acknowledged

the concerning rates of childhood obesity and its implications for long term health complications.

Closely tied to this concern was the perception that a large number of children are experiencing

hunger or lack access to healthy foods.

Parenting

Throughout the interviews and focus groups conducted during this assessment, poor parenting skills were repeatedly mentioned as an impediment to the quality of life of children in the county. Unfortunately, it is easy to point the blame at parents without offering concrete solutions to the problem. Parenting education is available through various agencies and organizations in the county, but these services are often siloed, punitive, or not evidence-based. It is difficult to gather useful data as it pertains to parenting skills, but several issues were identified as creating difficulties for parents. Financial strains create difficulties for families, especially single parent households, and there is a perception that many families have difficulty locating quality affordable child care. A deeper assessment is needed on the availability and effectiveness of parenting education in the county and a population based approach to parenting education may be an effective intervention in the county. Any efforts should bear in mind the cultural complications involved in serving a county as diverse as Fort Bend County.

CHILDREN AT RISK: CHILDREN AT RISK (C@R) is a nonpartisan research and advocacy

organization that drives macro-level change through public policy and evidence-based solutions.

C@R began in the fall of 1989 when a group of child advocates met to discuss the lack of data

on the status of children and the absence of strong public policy support. C@R has Houston roots

but has grown to become an organization impacting children across Texas. C@R strives to make

children’s needs a priority and ensure ample resources are available for families to thrive.
