Objective: To discuss the need for an ecological model and new approaches for meeting the psychological and physical health care needs of minority children.

Method: I support approaches that are informal, empowerment oriented, and culturally sensitive and that address illness prevention and health promotion.

Discussion: Assessment, intervention, and research challenges involved in implementing these approaches are identified, and some strategies for overcoming these challenges are discussed.

Conclusions: Pediatric psychology can be expanded to embrace the advocated model and intervention approaches to better meet the health care needs of minority children.

Key words: minority; intervention; culturally sensitive model.
