A transdiagnostic examination of sex- and race and ethnicity-based mental health treatment disparities among publicly insured youth
Overview
This study analyzes California Medicaid billing records to examine sex- and race-based disparities in mental health service receipt among publicly insured youth aged 7–18 with eating, mood/anxiety, or psychotic disorders. The authors report that many participants received no outpatient therapy, with significant gaps observed for youth of color and those diagnosed with eating disorders. The resource highlights how intersecting marginalized identities correlate with lower access to core treatment services within this specific population.
