Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the type of mental health care received and metropolitan status. We combined data from the National Survey for Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to examine mental health treatment. We grouped participants by metropolitan status and receipt of mental health treatment. We conducted a logistic regression using interaction terms to compare the likelihood of receiving inpatient and/or outpatient treatment for mental health, relative to prescription medication alone. There was an association between the type of mental health treatment received and metropolitan status. For women, living outside a large metropolitan area was associated with a higher likelihood of receiving only prescription medication (p < 0.001). Policy makers may use these results to consider ways to increase access to care, including increasing funding for behavioral health or recruitment incentives for specialists.
期刊介绍：
Community Mental Health Journal focuses on the needs of people experiencing serious forms of psychological distress, as well as the structures established to address those needs. Areas of particular interest include critical examination of current paradigms of diagnosis and treatment, socio-structural determinants of mental health, social hierarchies within the public mental health systems, and the intersection of public mental health programs and social/racial justice and health equity. While this is the journal of the American Association for Community Psychiatry, we welcome manuscripts reflecting research from a range of disciplines on recovery-oriented services, public health policy, clinical delivery systems, advocacy, and emerging and innovative practices.
