Mexican Americans' Underutilization of Mental Health Clinics: An Evaluation of Suggested Explanations.
Keefe, Susan Emley
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v1 n2 p93-115 Jun 1979
Reasons proposed by researchers to account for the underutilization of public mental clinics by Mexican Americans are summarized and then tested using data from a survey of 666 Mexican Americans in three Southern California communities. It is suggested that ethnic perceptions of emotional problems are most important in determining mental health clinic utilization. (Author/NQ)
