Abstract

Our objective was to characterize the proportion of U.S. mental health clinics that offered LGBT-tailored mental health services between 2014 and 2018. We used data from the National Mental Health Services Survey (NMHSS) to construct a mixed logistic model of availability of LGBT-tailored mental health services over time, by region (Northeast, South, Midwest and West), and by facility type (Veterans Administration, inpatient/residential, outpatient, community mental health centers and mixed). Our results show that the overall proportion of mental health clinics that offered LGBT-tailored services decreased from 2014 to 2018. Our results also indicate that Veteran Affairs clinics and facilities in the West and Northeast were most likely to offer LGBT-tailored mental health services. Given the temporal, regional, and facility gaps in LGBT-tailored mental health services availability, more effort should be dedicated to addressing this disparity.

美国诊所提供为lgbt量身定制的心理健康服务的比例随着时间的推移而下降:国家心理健康服务调查的小组研究。

我们的目标是描述2014年至2018年期间提供针对lgbt群体的心理健康服务的美国心理健康诊所的比例。我们使用来自国家精神卫生服务调查(NMHSS)的数据构建了一个混合logistic模型，该模型按时间、地区(东北、南部、中西部和西部)和设施类型(退伍军人管理局、住院/住宿、门诊、社区精神卫生中心和混合)划分了lgbt量身定制的精神卫生服务的可用性。我们的研究结果显示，从2014年到2018年，提供lgbt量身定制服务的精神卫生诊所的总体比例有所下降。我们的研究结果还表明，西部和东北部的退伍军人事务诊所和设施最有可能提供针对lgbt群体的心理健康服务。鉴于针对lgbt群体的心理健康服务在时间、地区和设施方面存在差距，应该付出更多努力来解决这一差距。
