      ab: This article focuses on solutions to the lack of knowledge about mental disorders and underutilization of behavioral health care by African Americans. The authors will pro- vide an understanding of the historical context of this vulnerable population's experience with organized mental health service delivery systems. They will also analyze the contemporary factors and conditions associated with the lack of knowledge and low service use of African Americans in mental health treatment. To resolve these counterproductive experiences, the authors will describe a culturally responsive evidence-based practice intervention to increase the knowledge of mental health disorders and the use of mental health service by African Americans. Pre/post-test data will be used to track the change in knowledge of mental health disorders among African Americans and their overall service utilization rates. Implications for future research will be examined and culturally sensitive best practices for increasing knowledge of mental illness and mental health service use will be highlighted.
