目的：研究主要由亚裔美国人、欧洲裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民组成的不同种族样本中 (a) 抑郁症状的患病率和 (b) 心理健康治疗的利用情况。参与者：589名大学生。方法：向参加心理学入门课程的学生发放包含流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）的调查问卷。结果：(a) 根据 CES-D 测量，不同种族群体的抑郁症状水平没有差异； (b) 71% 患有严重抑郁症状的参与者在过去 12 个月内没有接受过任何心理健康治疗； (c) 欧洲裔美国人在过去 12 个月内接受心理健康治疗的可能性是其他学生的 3.7 倍。结论：应加大旨在提高抑郁大学生、尤其是少数民族群体成员对心理健康治疗服务利用的外展工作。
Objectives: To study (a) the prevalence of depressive symptoms and (b) the utilization of mental health treatment in an ethnoracially diverse sample consisting primarily of Asian Americans, European Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. Participants: Five hundred eighty-nine college students. Method: A questionnaire packet that included the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was administered to students in introductory psychology courses. Results: (a) There were no differences among ethnoracial groups in levels of depressive symptoms as measured by the CES-D; (b) 71% of participants with high levels of depressive symptoms had not received any mental health treatment in the previous 12 months; and (c) European Americans were 3.7 times more likely to have received mental health treatment in the previous 12 months than other students. Conclusion: Outreach efforts designed to improve utilization of mental health treatment services by depressed college students, especially by members of ethnoracial minority groups, should be increased.
