Individuals who report everyday experiences of discrimination are at heightened risk for adverse health outcomes and tend to report underutilization of health services. Systems of care (SOCs) have the potential to engage members of minority groups and to reduce health disparities. We examined the service-related experiences of predominantly Latinx caregivers enrolled in a SOC for their children with severe psychological health needs. We used independent samples t-tests and regression analyses to compare relations among service access, perceived service characteristics, and caregiver stress according to whether caregivers reported frequent or infrequent discrimination. The frequent discrimination group scored significantly higher on dimensions of stress and had greater dosage than the infrequent group. There were no differences in relations between service characteristics and outcomes by group. Findings indicated important differences in the service-related experiences and outcomes of caregivers who reported frequent and infrequent discrimination. We discuss limitations and implications.

- A survey conducted with nearly 4,000 NG members revealed that 32% experienced personal connections to COVID-19, such as infection or loss of loved ones, which resulted in higher levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and probable PTSD.
- Specifically, those whose close relationships were affected by death due to COVID-19 reported significantly higher PTSS and were nearly three times as likely to exhibit PTSD compared to those without such experiences.
