Overview

Population-based study reveals lower mental health service engagement in recent immigrants, suggesting targeted policy changes are needed.

Key Points

  • Recent immigrants reported 46% lower odds of accessing mental health services compared to long-term residents.
  • Of 6,201 participants, only 21.2% accessed medication or counseling for depression or anxiety symptoms.
  • Analysis involved multivariable logistic regression on National Health Interview Survey data from 2019 to 2023.
  • Findings emphasize the importance of policy reforms to improve mental health service accessibility for immigrants.
