目的。本研究考察了在寻求心理健康服务的态度方面的种族/民族差异。
方法。对来自美国全国共病调查的数据进行了分析，该调查对美国人口的一个代表性样本（N = 8098）进行了结构化诊断访谈。采用了多元逻辑回归，并根据心理健康服务需求对数据进行分层。
结果。患有抑郁症的非裔美国人比患有抑郁症的白人更有可能“肯定会去”（优势比[OR]=1.8，P <.001）寻求心理健康服务。患有严重精神疾病的非裔美国人相较于白人，不太可能“如果朋友知道他们寻求治疗会感到有些尴尬”（OR = 0.3，P <.001）。
结论。非裔美国人在寻求心理健康服务方面的态度比白人更积极。
Objectives. This study examined racial/ethnic differences in attitudes toward seeking mental health services.Methods. Data from the National Comorbidity Survey, which administered a structured diagnostic interview to a representative sample of the US population (N = 8098), were analyzed, Multiple logistic regression was used, and data were stratified by need for mental health services.Results. African Americans with depression were more likely than Whites with depression to "definitely go" (odds ratio [OR]= 1.8, P < .00 1) seek mental health services. African Americans with severe psychiatric disorders were less likely to be "somewhat embarrassed if friends knew they sought care" (OR = 0.3, P < .001) than were their White counterparts.Conclusions. African Americans reported more positive attitudes toward seeking mental health services than did Whites.
