| description | Historically, Black (or African American) churches have
played a central role as a center of religious and political life and also as
a provider of human services and a healing community. This article
examined the extent to which African American churches in 1 Northeastern
urban environment are involved in the delivery of health and human service
programs to their communities. It also explored how comfortable Black
clergy are in referring their parishioners to the formal mental health system
and identified the actual level of referrals. In addition, the
analyses considered the individual and organizational characteristics that
predict variations in the levels of support services and the likelihood of
referral. Analyses revealed that African American churches deliver a
broad range of services to the community. More than two thirds of the
clergy feel comfortable in making a referral to a mental health agency or
professional, and more than half have actually made a referral.
Both service delivery and referral levels varied by several clergy and
congregational characteristics. The implications of these findings for
research and health policy are considered. |
