Characteristics of Hispanics Referred to Coordinated Specialty Care for First-Episode Psychosis and Factors Associated With Enrollment

An Intersectional Approach to Ethnoracial Disparities in Pathways to Care Among Individuals With Psychosis in Coordinated Specialty Care

“…One reason may be varying definitions with lack of distinction between time from onset to first service contact and from first service contact to CSC. Furthermore, few studies included individuals from Asian and Latinx backgrounds …”

“…Furthermore, few studies included individuals from Asian and Latinx backgrounds. 16 Previous research on ethnoracial correlates of care pathways has largely focused on differences between disadvantaged ethnoracial groups and non-Latinx White individuals. The use of White individuals as a reference group reflects the assumption that they constitute a standard from which other groups diverge.…”

Realigning theory with evidence to understand the role of care coordination in mental health services research

“…41,42 Program-level data show structural racism in the implementation of effective care coordination for adults with psychiatric conditions measured by enrollment, phone outreach, referrals, and patient choice. 43,44 Nonetheless, study of the impact of care coordination for people with psychiatric conditions, especially accounting for racial disparities in experience of care coordination, is limited. Multivariate modeling using program data indicates variation in the impact of care coordination by race for children and adults, but these early models do not adjust for selection bias.…”
