由于样本量小，缺乏对不同文化适应程度的衡量，对移民心理健康保健方面的差异的研究一直受到限制。这项研究借鉴了全国酒精流行病学调查和相关条件来解决这些限制。结果表明，第一代移民在情绪和焦虑症方面的使用率较低。基于出生的治疗差异在非洲人和西班牙裔人中尤为明显，而几乎没有证据表明欧洲人之间存在差异。在文化适应的三个维度中，只有认同维度与心理卫生服务利用呈正相关。
Studies of immigrant-based disparities in mental health care have been limited by small sample sizes and a lack of measures of different dimensions of acculturation. This study draws on the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions to address these limitations. Results indicate first-generation immigrants have lower rates of utilization for both mood and anxiety disorders. Nativity-based disparities in treatment are particularly notable among people from African and Hispanic origins, while there is little evidence of disparities among people from European origins. Of three dimensions of acculturation, only the identity dimension has a positive association with mental health care utilization.
