Disparities in mental health service use of racial and ethnic minority elderly adults
Open accessAbstract
Objectives: To apply the I nstitute of M edicine definition of healthcare disparities, to measure disparities in different aspects of episodes of mental health care and to identify disparities in types of mental health services used. Design: Four 2‐year longitudinal datasets from Panels 9 to 13 (2004–2009) of the Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys were combined. Setting: Large‐scale surveys of families and individuals and their medical providers across the United States. Participants: One thousand six hundred fifty‐eight participants (981 white, 303 black, and 374 Latino) aged 60 and older with probable mental healthcare needs. Measurements: Mental healthcare need was defined as a Kessler‐6 Scale score >12 and a Patient Health Questionnaire‐2 score >2. Five aspects of mental healthcare episodes were analyzed: treatment initiation, adequacy of care, duration of care, number of visits, and expenditures. Whether episodes of care included only prescription drug fills, only outpatient visits, or both was assessed. Results: Treatment initiation and adequacy were lower for blacks and Latinos than whites. Latinos experienced episodes of longer duration, more visits, and higher expenditures. Blacks and Latinos had significantly lower rates of episodes that consisted of only medication refills. Blacks had significantly greater rates of episodes with only outpatient care visits. Latinos had significantly higher rates of medication plus outpatient visits. Conclusion: Low mental health treatment initiation and poor adequacy suggest the need for culturally appropriate interventions to engage older blacks and Latinos in mental health care. The surprising findings in blacks (higher rates of outpatient care visits) and Latinos (higher rates of medication plus outpatient visits) highlight the complexities of the older adult population and suggest new avenues for disparities research.

Traditional clinical or primary care approaches to disability have not reduced disparities in treatment access and quality of care.
“Traditional approaches that address disability in clinical or primary care contexts have failed to reduce disparities in treatment access (14) and quality of care (16).”
From Effectiveness of a Disability Preventive Intervention for Minority and Immigrant Elders: The Positive Minds-Strong Bodies Randomized Clinical Trial (2019) · cites this paper as [14]
The Results and Discussion report lower mental health treatment initiation among older Black and Latino adults than among White adults, supporting the treatment-access disparity. The paper does not evaluate traditional clinical or primary-care approaches to disability or show that those approaches failed to reduce disparities. In the citing sentence, the separate quality-of-care claim is attached to citation (16), not this source. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
