From
Abstract: Unmet
need for treatment is greatest in traditionally underserved groups,
including elderly persons, racial-ethnic minorities, those with low
incomes, those without insurance, and residents of rural areas.
CONCLUSIONS: Most people with mental disorders in the United States
remain either untreated or poorly treated. Interventions are needed to
enhance treatment initiation and quality.
From
Abstract:
CONCLUSIONS: Mental health care provided to Medicare beneficiaries in
the general medical sector does not appear to substitute perfectly for
care provided in the specialty sector. Our study suggests that the
treatment patterns in the specialty sector may be preferred by some
patients; further, earlier findings indicate geographic barriers to
obtaining specialty care. Thus, the matching of service use to clinical
need among this vulnerable population may be inappropriate. The need
for further research on outcomes is indicated.
From
Abstract:
CONCLUSIONS: Persons with severe mental illness have a high level of
economic and social disadvantage. Barriers to care, including lack of
insurance, are substantial and many do not receive specialty care.
Public insurance programs are the major points of leverage for
improving access, and policy interventions should be targeted to these
programs. Problems of adequate care for the severely mentally ill may
be exacerbated by the managed care trend to reductions in intensity of
treatment.
From
Abstract:
CONCLUSIONS: Failure to make prompt initial treatment contact is a
pervasive aspect of unmet need for mental health care in the United
States. Interventions to speed initial treatment contact are likely to
reduce the burdens and hazards of untreated mental disorder.
From
Abstract:
CONCLUSIONS: Despite an increase in the rate of treatment, most
patients with a mental disorder did not receive treatment. Continued
efforts are needed to obtain data on the effectiveness of treatment in
order to increase the use of effective treatments.
