General Health and Mental Health Locus of Control in a Diverse Sample of Latino San Franciscans Attending a Community‐Based Primary Care Clinic
Our findings suggest a tendency among Latino San Franciscans to view their mental health as strongly influenced by external factors, while viewing their general health as strongly influenced by self-responsibility. Acknowledging and supporting participants' reliance on external resources while fostering self-efficacy could guide prevention and intervention strategies for mental and brain health.
