在这个DataWatch中,我们研究了加州187号提案的通过是否影响了旧金山弗朗西斯科县精神卫生服务的使用。使用时间序列分析,我们确定了一个26%的下降,在门诊心理健康服务的年轻西班牙裔在选定的服务点后,1994年11月187号提案的通过。进一步的分析表明,减少使用门诊心理健康服务的年轻西班牙裔与他们随后增加使用危机服务。需要其他关于187号提案对加州精神卫生服务使用的影响的研究来证实本案例研究的结果。
In this DataWatch we examine whether the passage of California's Proposition 187 affected the use of mental health services in San Francisco County. Using time series analyses, we identified a 26 percent decrease in the initiation of outpatient mental health services by younger Hispanics at selected service sites after the passage of Proposition 187 in November 1994. Further analyses suggest that decreased use of outpatient mental health services by young Hispanics was associated with their subsequent increased use of crisis services. Other studies of Proposition 187's effect on mental health service use in California are needed to corroborate the findings of this case study.
