Abstract

Racial and ethnic minorities like Asians in the United States are significantly less likely to receive mental health treatment than Caucasians. Using 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, we examined the underutilization of mental health treatment in the US and find that being over 65 or 35-44, being unmarried, and being insured were positively associated with mental health treatment utilization, and as mentally unhealthy days increased, the utilization of treatment also increased. The paper offers a discussion on why there is this underutilization of mental health services amongst Asians and what steps can be taken to improve utilization.

种族和少数民族，如美国的亚洲人，接受心理健康治疗的可能性明显低于白种人。利用2012年美国行为风险因素监测系统(Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System)数据，研究了美国心理健康治疗利用不足的情况，发现65岁以上或35-44岁、未婚和有保险与心理健康治疗利用呈正相关，并且随着心理不健康天数的增加，治疗利用也增加。这篇论文讨论了为什么亚洲人对心理健康服务的利用不足，以及可以采取哪些措施来提高利用率。
