摘要
Cross-sectional 2009 Health Center Patient Survey data describe the mental health status of health center patients, utilization of mental health services, and factors associated with unmet need for mental health treatment. One in five health center patients accessed mental health services in the past year, and over half of the patients who received counseling received this treatment at a health center. Patients who were unable to access mental health care cited affordability as a concern. Unmet need for mental health treatment was reported by one in three patients. Multivariate analysis found that the odds of reporting unmet need were higher for patients who lacked a usual source of care and patients with serious mental illness.
