Article to appear in Psychological Services

Rachel Ishikawa just received word that the manuscript from her dissertation was accepted for publication in the APA journal Psychological Services. Her study investigated the psychological factors associated with Latino patient follow through on PCP recommendation for subsequent mental healthcare. She obtained patient evaluations of their PCP’s cultural competence, their working alliance, and their treatment preference. Over two time periods, results indicated that patient-PCP working alliance was positively associated with intention to follow up on a treatment recommendation. Moreover, the patient-PCP working alliance mediated the relationship between cultural competence and intention of following up on the recommendation. Congratulations, Rachel!
