Racial and Ethnic Disparities for Unmet Needs by Mental Health Condition: 2016 to 2021, in Pediatrics
key takeaway: "Relative to non-Hispanic white children with any mental health condition, non-Hispanic Black children had greater odds of unmet needs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.56, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.18–2.05). Models disaggregated by specific mental health conditions revealed heterogeneous patterns. Specifically, relative to non-Hispanic white children, non-Hispanic Black children displayed elevated odds of unmet needs for behavioral problems (aOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.00–2.02), whereas Asian and Hispanic children displayed elevated odds for anxiety (aOR = 2.60, 95% CI: 1.20–4.29 and aOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.05–1.90, respectively)."
