Description:

In the US, psychopharmacology has been in existence for approximately 70 years since the FDA approval of Thorazine (1952). Much of the research focus has been on group 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 (known as pharmacokinetics) across groups. In addition, there are differences in how ethnoracial groups view the value psychotropic medication including medication adherence, another topic to be discussed within this workshop.

Training Objectives:

Attendees will be able to:

1. Summarize critical diagnostic issues associated with ethnoracial groups

2. List several differences between groups based on pharmacokinetics (how the body reacts to the presence of a drug)
