註釋The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of socioeconomic status (SES), acculturation, and coverage for mental health have on difficulties and delays in getting mental health treatment amongst people ages 18-64. Data were obtained from 33,187 adults ages 18-64 who were interviewed in the 2005 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). The independent variables utilized in this study were socio-economic status, acculturation, and coverage for mental health. The dependent variable was difficulties/delays in getting mental health treatment. The result of the study indicated that educational attainment was the only variable in the model that was significant in predicting delays in getting mental health treatment. Education can help increase people's knowledge and enable them to make better-informed choices among the health related options for themselves and their families, including those related to obtaining and managing their mental health needs. As professional social workers, we need to empower this population to create positive changes in their lives.
