NIMHD-Funded Study Examines Why Mental Health Service Use and Dropout Rates Vary Across Racial/Ethnic Groups Among U.S. adults with mental disorders, racial/ethnic minorities are only half as likely as Whites to get treatment, and they are also more likely to drop out before completing their treatment. A study published in Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research reveals that Latinos and Asians were more likely than Blacks and Whites to report that they received no treatment for mental health disorders, say that they did not think they needed treatment, and drop out of their mental health treatments. This research sheds light on the barriers to receiving mental health care. Having culturally sensitive discussions about mental health in communities and with providers may encourage more people to use these targeted health services.
