Abstract
The Cambodian (Khmer) community continues to face significant language disparities and inequalities in the field of mental health. In this theme of mental health, it is established that there are multiple explanations for the stagnant progress in language accessibility and health literacy. To further identify and analyze details and results that may assist in this improvement of better serving the elderly in these communities, we will use a scoping literature review. Here, we will use this scoping literature review to draw conclusions from existing U.S. academic journal studies and articles through scientific libraries and sites. These studies and articles are of observational, epidemiological, cross-sectional, and experimental studies that focus on post-traumatic stress (PTSD), major depression, and anxiety. Data obtained, illustrates the ongoing gaps of cross-cultural language, including policies and community issues that may exacerbates progress in the field of mental health.Contrary to what is assumed about language accessibility and health literacy in the mental health field, the demand for resources of inclusive language is rising with the ever changing environment. Findings and results on this scoping literature review are ongoing and forthcoming.
