Topic
Ethnoracial Issues and Psychopharmacology
Group research in psychopharmacology tends to focus on differences associated with age and gender. Surprisingly, little research has focused on different ethnoracial groups. This presentation will look at differences in how medications are absorbed, distributed and metabolized across groups. In addition, there are differences in how ethnoracial groups view the value of psychotropic medication, including medication adherence, another area to be discussed within this workshop.
