dc.description.abstractThis study begins the process of examining negative life events, social determinants of health, and the parents’ familiarity with mental health services concerning children with dual diagnoses. Using a state-wide survey in the state of Tennessee, this study examined 120 parents with children with dual diagnoses to understand what mental health services exist, the barriers that exist in accessing the services, and the parent’s overall familiarity with mental health services. Results indicated that 72.7% of children with dual diagnoses faced at least 1 negative life event in the last 12 months. Parents expressed less confidence in accessing education, healthcare, and mental health services, which are crucial for children with dual diagnoses. Additionally, the study revealed that parents are less familiar with child-based services and family-based services. It was also found that parents who were not married, unemployed, spoke Spanish, had lower levels of education, or had poor mental health were less likely to be familiar with mental health services. In addition, low-to-medium correlations were found between social determinants of health and the parent’s familiarity with mental health services. Given its results, it’s important to further educate parents on what mental health services exist for their children. In addition, it is crucial to train mental health professionals to address social determinants of health to promote equitable mental health outcomes is crucial.en_US
