Cultural mistrust of white mental health clinicians among African Americans with severe mental illness.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study examined the association between cultural mistrust and beliefs about white mental health clinicians among African-American patients recently admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Self-report and clinician-rated measures of cultural mistrust predicted patients' beliefs about white mental health clinicians. Implications for mental health services to African Americans are discussed.
