User talk:Dayana san/Social determinants of mental health

I am interested in editing this wikipedia page (social determinant of mental health. Especially in the the area of fixed characteristics under the characteristic of Race/Ethnicity. In this characteristic there is a lot of knowledge of lower rate of health treatment, stigma, and not having the right knowledge in minority groups. But there really isn't a cause for the negative mental health. I would like to contribute with why minority groups might experiences a negative effect on mental health. Add the topic of racism and discrimination in which in a book they express " Minority groups commonly report experiences with racism and discrimination, and they consider these experiences to be stressful. In a national probability sample of minority groups and whites. African Americans and Hispanic American reported experiencing higher overall levels of global stress than did whites." Mental health: Culture, race and ethnicity. (2001). U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Office of the Surgeon General.

And would also like to add sources that support the present information in this characteristic.
