本研究通过检验以下假设，调查了在种族/民族多样化的有心理健康需求的高危青年样本中父母对护理障碍的认可：（1）与非西班牙裔白人（NHWs）相比，非洲裔美国人、亚洲/太平洋岛民美国人和拉丁裔青年的未满足需求水平更高;（2）少数族裔青少年的父母会比非健康工作者的父母报告更多的障碍，以精神健康服务为他们的孩子;（3）少数族裔家长对屏障的认同程度较非居于屋的家长为高的模式，在不同的屏障类别中会持续存在;（4）障碍背书将与未满足的精神卫生服务需求有关。据推测，少数民族青年有较高水平的未满足的需要相比，新的保健工作者。然而，尽管有这一发现，少数民族青年的父母报告的障碍比NHWs的父母少，这种模式通常持续跨越障碍类型。此外，障碍认可与未满足的需求无关。事后分析表明障碍背书文化因素的影响，表明在未来的研究中考虑到这些影响的重要性障碍护理。
The present study investigated parental endorsement of barriers to care in a racially/ethnically diverse, at-risk sample of youth with mental health needs by testing the following hypotheses: (1) African American, Asian/Pacific Islander American, and Latino youth would have higher levels of unmet need compared to Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs); (2) Parents of ethnic minority youth would report a greater number of barriers to mental health services for their children than would parents of NHWs; (3) The pattern of greater barrier endorsement by parents of ethnic minorities compared to parents of NHWs would persist across different barrier types; (4) Barrier endorsement would be related to unmet need for mental health services. As hypothesized, ethnic minority youth had higher levels of unmet need as compared to NHWs. However, despite this finding, parents of ethnic minority youth reported fewer barriers than did parents of NHWs, and this pattern generally persisted across barrier types. Furthermore, barrier endorsement was unrelated to unmet need. Post hoc analyses suggest the influence of cultural factors upon barrier endorsement, indicating the importance of taking such influences into account in future research on barriers to care.
