Journal Article
Mental health care preferences among low-income and minority women
2008
Overview
Mental health care preferences are examined among 1,893 low-income immigrant and U.S.-born women with an acknowledged emotional problem (mean age = 29.1, SD = 89.6). Ethnicity, depression, somatization, and stigma are examined as they relate to mental health care preferences (medication, individual and group counseling, faith, family/friends). Seventy-eight percent of participants counseling would be helpful; 55%; group counseling; and 32% medication. Faith was cited by 81%; family and friends were endorsed by 65%. Minorities had lower odds than Whites of endorsing medication (Black immigrants: OR = 0.27,
p
< 0.001, U.S.-born Blacks: OR = 0.30,
p
< 0.001, immigrant Latinas: OR = 0.50,
p
< 0.01). Most minorities also had higher odds of endorsing faith compared to Whites (Black immigrants: OR = 3.62,
p
< 0.001; U.S.-born Blacks, OR = 3.85,
p
< 0.001; immigrant Latinas: OR = 9.76,
p
< 0.001). Being depressed was positively associated with endorsing medication (OR = 1.93,
p
< 0.001), individual counseling (OR = 2.66,
p
< 0.001), and group counseling (OR = 1.35,
p
< 0.01). Somatization was positively associated with endorsing medication (OR = 1.29,
p
< 0.05) and faith (OR = 1.37,
p
< 0.05). Stigma-concerns reduced the odds of endorsing group counseling (OR = 0.58,
p
< 0.001). Finally, being in mental health treatment was related to increased odds of endorsing medication (OR = 3.88,
p
< 0.001) and individual counseling (OR = 2.29,
p
= 0.001).
