Mental Health Care Disparities Among US Pregnant Individuals in 2020-2021: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Purpose: To examine maternal characteristics associated with perceived unmet mental health needs and mental health care settings, focusing on residential rurality and race/ethnicity.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed self-reported unmet mental health needs and mental health care settings among 1097 pregnant respondents in the 2020-2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, incorporating the complex sampling weights for national representativeness.
Findings: Non-Hispanic Black pregnant individuals and those living in nonmetro rural areas reported lower odds of unmet mental health needs compared to those in large metro areas and non-Hispanic White individuals. Pregnant individuals in nonmetro rural areas and non-Hispanic other pregnant individuals also reported lower odds of utilizing virtual mental care services, while non-Hispanic other pregnant individuals were less likely to receive prescription medication than their non-Hispanic White counterparts.
Conclusions: Disparities in mental health care access by rurality and race/ethnicity reveal increased barriers for nonmetro rural and minority pregnant populations, particularly regarding virtual and prescription-based care. The lower unmet health needs among Black pregnant individuals and those living in nonmetro rural areas may reflect adjusted expectations or reliance on informal support systems, emphasizing the need to understand these perceptions. COVID-19's impact on access patterns further highlights the need for more research on barriers to maternal mental health treatment. Tailored mental health interventions and policy reforms are needed to enhance accessible, culturally sensitive maternal mental health services across diverse communities.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities reports on the scholarly progress of work to understand, address, and ultimately eliminate health disparities based on race and ethnicity. Efforts to explore underlying causes of health disparities and to describe interventions that have been undertaken to address racial and ethnic health disparities are featured. Promising studies that are ongoing or studies that have longer term data are welcome, as are studies that serve as lessons for best practices in eliminating health disparities. Original research, systematic reviews, and commentaries presenting the state-of-the-art thinking on problems centered on health disparities will be considered for publication. We particularly encourage review articles that generate innovative and testable ideas, and constructive discussions and/or critiques of health disparities.Because the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities receives a large number of submissions, about 30% of submissions to the Journal are sent out for full peer review.
