Abstract

The goals of this study were to identify whether barriers that parents perceived to using health care differed by service type (medical vs. mental health care) and whether there were racial/ethnic differences in barriers. Participants were a community sample of 275 parents (34.2% African American, 36.7% Caucasian, and 29.1% Hispanic) of children ages 9-13 years old who rated the extent to which potential barriers in 3 broad domains (stigma-related, logistical, and socioeconomic) would prevent or delay them from obtaining services. They also rated internalizing and externalizing problems exhibited by their child. Overall, parents reported greater socioeconomic and stigma-related barriers to obtaining mental health services than medical services. Hispanic parents reported socioeconomic and stigma-related barriers as more inhibiting than did African-American parents. Findings highlight the importance of strengthening relationships between mental health care providers and the community to reduce the stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment for children and better educating parents about the potential benefits of treatment. Policy focused on educating parents about their insurance options and improving insurance coverage may help to reduce socioeconomic barriers.

Research on mental disorder treatment quality finds that low-SES patients are significantly more likely than other patients to receive lower-quality treatment.
“The small amount of research that exists on mental disorder treatment quality finds that low-SES patients are significantly more likely than other patients to receive lower-quality treatment (Amaddeo & Jones, 2007; Young & Rabiner, 2015).”
From Socio-economic variations in the mental health treatment gap for people with anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders: Results from the WHO World Mental Health (WMH) surveys (2018) · cites this paper as Young & Rabiner, 2015
The Previous Research section links lower SES to reduced initiation or continuation of child mental health treatment, not to the quality of treatment received. The Results section reports no significant effect of household income on the barriers studied. Searches for SES and treatment quality found no passage establishing the claimed significant difference in treatment quality. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
