Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the Screening and Support for Youth (SASY), a community-based program that provides mental health screening and support for diverse youth.
- Using various tools, the SASY screening evaluated symptoms, functioning, and clinical risks, leading to personalized insights for participants during motivational interviews and options for online interventions.
- Innovative recruitment methods, enhanced by the pandemic (like using QR codes), successfully increased participation, particularly among Black or African American and Hispanic youth, showing that combining online and offline strategies can effectively engage a diverse population.

Objective: The objective of this study was to characterize and compare national estimates of mental healthcare use among White and Asian American groups to provide an update using post Affordable Care Act data.
Methods: We analyzed yearly cross-sectional data from the 2013-2019 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, including White (n = 112,590) and Asian American (n = 10,210) individuals, and examined rates of mental healthcare use for Asian (overall), Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, and Other Asian individuals relative to White individuals. Using multivariable logistic regression models and predictive margin methods, we estimated overall Asian disparities and Asian subgroup disparities compared to White group rates in mental health care (outpatient, specialty, psychotropic medication) among adults with and without elevated risk for mental illness.
Objective: To understand whether and how primary care providers and staff elicit patients' past experiences of healthcare discrimination when providing care.
Data Sources/study Setting: Twenty qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with healthcare staff in primary care roles to inform future interventions to integrate data about past experiences of healthcare discrimination into clinical care.
Study Design: Qualitative study.
