Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows significant disparities in service use among racial and ethnic minorities, suggesting urgent policy reforms.

Key Points

  • Service utilization for mental health remains unequal, especially for racial minorities with lower engagement levels.
  • Findings reveal White adults utilized services at 28.3%, while Black, Hispanic, and Asian adults had lower rates of 17.6%, 16.1%, and 10.3% respectively.
  • Using multivariate logistic regression analysis based on the Andersen behavioral model, the study identified key demographic factors influencing service use.
  • Call for targeted outreach and culturally responsive care methods to improve access within underserved communities.
