Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Pediatric Mental Health
Open accessAbstract
Disparities remain in mental health status and care for racial and ethnic minority youth, despite national attention to disparity reduction. This article offers a comprehensive picture of the status of pediatric disparities, by addressing the major areas affecting minority youth mental health, including: prevention of problems, need for services, access to care, mental health treatment types, and treatment outcomes. The authors address relevant factors in the family, community and socioeconomic context, and describe various local and national programs that aim to tackle the obstacles and fill the gaps in high-quality care for racial/ethnic minority youth. The article concludes by offering recommendations for improvement that acknowledge the importance of understanding preferences and attitudes toward treatment, ensuring that screening and diagnosis is appropriate to minority youth, and ensuring that evidence-based programs are available at multiple levels to best service children and succeed in addressing their needs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
