– Request personal information gradually rather than attempting to gain information as quickly as possible – African American clients generally respond better to an egalitarian and authentic relationship with counselors – Providers also need to craft culturally responsive health-related messages for African Americans to improve treatment engagement and effectiveness – Once engaged, African American clients are at least as likely to continue participation as members of other ethnic/racial groups – African Americans, even when receiving the same amount of services as White Americans, are less likely to be satisfied with those services – In many African American communities, there is a persistent belief that social and treatment services try to impose White American values – Attitudes toward psychological services appear to become more negative as psychological distress increases – Longstanding suspicions regarding established healthcare institutions can also affect African Americans' participation in, attitudes toward, and outcomes after treatment – African Americans were more likely than members of other major ethnic/racial groups to state that they lacked transportation to the program or that their insurance did not cover the cost of such treatment – African Americans were, next to Asian Americans, the least likely of all major ethnic and racial groups to state a need for specialized treatment – An essential step in decreasing disparity in behavioral health services among African Americans involves using culturally sensitive instruments and evaluation tools – Lack of familiarity with the value and use of specialized behavioral health services may limit service use. – African Americans are more likely to be referred to treatment from criminal justice settings rather than self-referred or referred by other sources – A substantial number of those who are incarcerated (64.1 percent of jail inmates in 2002) have mental health problems – African Americans are overrepresented among people who are incarcerated in prisons and jails – 74% of African Americans who had a past-year major depressive episode were identified as also having both alcohol and marijuana use disorders – Were significantly more likely than White Americans to have an undetected co-occurring mental disorder, and, if detected, they were significantly less likely than White Americans or Latinos to receive treatment for that disorder – Blacks were much more likely to receive mental health services from general practitioners than from mental health specialists – For an overview of mental health across populations, refer to Mental Health United States, 2010 (SAMHSA 2012a). – African Americans are about twice as likely to be diagnosed with a psychotic disorder as White Americans and more than three times as likely to be hospitalized for such disorders. – African Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia and less likely to be diagnosed with affective disorders than White Americans, even though multiple studies have found that rates of both disorders among these populations are comparable
– In one study evaluating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among African Americans in an outpatient mental health clinic, only 11 percent of clients had documentation referring to PTSD, even though 43 percent of the clients showed symptoms of PTSD – African Americans are less likely than White Americans to receive treatment for anxiety and mood disorders, but they are more likely to receive treatment for drug use disorders – Overall, African Americans are more likely to believe that drinking and drug use are activities for which one is personally responsible thus, they may have difficulty accepting alcohol abuse/dependence as a disease – In most African American communities, significant alcohol or drug use may be socially unacceptable or seen as a sign of weakness even in communities where the sale of such substances may be more acceptable. – many individuals from these latter regions, if they come from Spanish-speaking cultural groups, identify primarily as Latino – More recent immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean, and South or Central America – Descendants of African slaves brought to this country against their will – African Americans or Blacks are people whose origins are “in any of the black racial groups of Africa”
