Racial disparity in mental disorder diagnosis and treatment between non-hispanic White and Asian American patients in a general hospital.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings on the racial disparity in mental disorder diagnosis and treatment between AA and WNH patients suggest that mental disorders are under-recognized and mental health services are under-utilized in the AA community. There remains a need for health care providers to improve screening services and to gain a better understanding of the cultural barriers that hinder mental health care among AA patients.
