Initial Outcomes for a Stress Management Psychoeducational Group for Latino College Students

ABSTRACT

College students endure heightened levels of stress, and Latino college students experience additional stressors associated with their ethnic and cultural status, which places them at an increased risk for maladjustment. Stress management psychoeducational groups can improve college student’s coping. A total of 109 Latino college students participated in a culturally-tailored psychoeducational group. Results suggest positive outcomes and implications for these findings are discussed in the context of cultural values and experiences of Latino college students.
