Publicación Mental Health and Well-Being in South-South Migrant Population(Springer Nature, 2025-05-01) Urzúa-Morales, Alfonso ; Carpio, KarenIn this chapter, we refer to relevant issues related to the mental health of migrants in the region, both from their positive aspects, such as well-being, and from their more psychopathological components, including, for example, epidemiological studies on the prevalence of mental disorders. Special emphasis is placed on the search for distinctive elements of the so-called south-south Latin migration, in contrast to the evidence reported on migrations in other regions of the planet. The chapter concludes by incorporating experiences detected in the region of interventions from different levels, ranging from the individual to state policies, emphasizing gaps for both action and research.Publicación From Here On, Health Psychology in Latin America and the Caribbean(Springer Nature, 2025-06-25) Rosa-Rodríguez, Yarimar; Urzúa-Morales, AlfonsoThis concluding chapter highlights the richness of this handbook: the collaboration of authors from diverse countries and backgrounds in advancing health psychology, emphasizing the field’s critical role in sustainable public policies, health interventions, and education. It underscores the need for community-driven efforts to promote health while acknowledging the influence of sociocultural factors, including poverty, education, and intersectionality in health outcomes. Mixed-method approaches integrating individual resources with social determinants of health are advocated to enhance research and practice. Key areas for growth include integrating psychologists into hospital contexts, increasing multilingual publications, and influencing public policy. The development of practical tools, longitudinal and demographic studies, and research on environmental and gender-diverse health issues are identified as priorities. Collaboration across nations is vital for addressing challenges such as migration. The authors call for innovative and culturally sensitive applications of health behavior models, urging the discipline to align with social justice goals and contribute effectively to public health.
