  • Title: Professional service use among older African Americans, Black Caribbeans, and Non-Hispanic Whites for serious health and emotional problems.
    Author: Nguyen AW, Taylor RJ, Chatters LM, Taylor HO, Woodward AT.
    Journal: Soc Work Health Care; 2020 Mar; 59(3):199-217. PubMed ID: 32148180.
    Abstract:
    This study examined racial and ethnic differences in professional service use by older African Americans, Black Caribbeans, and Non-Hispanic Whites in response to a serious personal problem. The analytic sample (N = 862) was drawn from the National Survey of American Life. Findings indicated that African Americans and Black Caribbeans were less likely to use services than Whites. Type and race of providers seen varied by respondents' race and ethnicity. Among respondents who did not seek professional help, reasons for not seeking help varied by ethnicity. Study findings are discussed in relation to practice implications.
