摘要：
Nguyen et al. analyzed data from the US National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to show that Asian American Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) adults with limited English proficiency have substantially lower levels of mental health services utilization compared with White adults without limited English proficiency. The findings add to the growing literature using an intersectionality framework to understand health and health care disparities. We comment on the authors' notable examination of intersecting minoritized identities in mental health services utilization and the welcome emphasis on AANHPI health. We discuss the limitations of the NSDUH data, which are administered in English and Spanish only, and their limited ability to support analyses disaggregated by ethnoracial subgroups. We conclude by identifying gaps related to funding, training, and data disaggregation, and we highlight the role of mixed-methods approaches to advance our understanding of intersectionality and health disparities research.This article is part of a Special Collection on Mental Health.
