人们对黑人女性在心理健康和物质治疗方面的服务障碍的看法知之甚少。这篇文章报道了一项定性研究的结果，该研究探索了29名在东北小城市接受治疗的黑人女性的看法。焦点小组数据的调查结果显示，参与者的服务体验通过以下主题进行讨论：偏见和污名；消费者和提供者之间对健康和疾病的不一致观点；消费者的不信任；以及整体健康。参与者支持咨询作为一种治疗策略，但反对使用药物。文中还讨论了实践和研究意义。
Little is known about black women's perceptions of service barriers in mental health and substance treatment. This article reports the findings of a qualitative study that explored the perceptions of 29 black women who received treatment in a small urban Northeastern city. Findings of the focus group data revealed participants' experiences of services as discussed through the themes of bias and stigma; incompatible perspectives of wellness versus illness between consumer and provider; consumer mistrust; and holistic wellness. Participants endorsed counseling as a treatment strategy but were adverse to the use of medication. Practice and research implications are discussed.
