The authors point out that the mental health status of Puerto Ricans in New York City is still poorly understood after 30 years of research. The roles of cultural response styles and of culturally meaningful expressions of distress in shaping responses to research interviews should be central concerns in developing research in cross-cultural psychiatry.
