Abstract: The Latinx population is the largest and fastest-growing segment of the U.S. While the vast majority of Latinx children are US-born, over half are growing up in a family where they live with at least one foreign-born parent. Despite research showing that Latinx immigrants are less likely to experience mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) health issues (e.g., depression, conduct disorder, substance misuse), their children have one of the country's highest rates of MEB disorders. To address the MEB health of Latinx children and their caregivers, culturally grounded interventions have been developed, implemented, and tested to promote MEB health. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify these interventions and summarize their findings.
