Racial/Ethnic Minority Children’s Use of Psychiatric Emergency Care in California’s Public Mental Health System
Objectives. We examined rates and intensity of crisis services use by race/ethnicity for 351174 children younger than 18 years who received specialty mental health care from California’s 57 county public mental health systems between July 1998 and June 2001. Methods. We used fixed-effects regression for a controlled assessment of racial/ethnic disparities in children’s use of hospital-based services for the most serious mental health crises (cris…
Increasing California Children's Medicaid-Financed Mental Health Treatment by Vigorously Implementing Medicaid's Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Program
BACKGROUND: Children living in poverty-especially children living in rural areas and in areas lacking a commitment to providing mental health care-have considerable unmet need for mental health treatment. Expansion of Medicaid's Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program might help to address this problem. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a legally compelled expansion of mental health screening, treatment, and financing unde…
Effects on Outpatient and Emergency Mental Health Care of Strict Medicaid Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment Enforcement
We investigated enforcement of mental health benefits provided by California Medicaid’s Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program. Enforcement, compelled by a consumer-driven lawsuit, resulted in an almost 4-fold funding increase over a 5-year period. We evaluated the impact of enforcement on outpatient treatment intensity (number of visits per child) and rates of emergency care treatment. Using fixed-effects regression, …
Federal civil rights policy and mental health treatment access for persons with limited english proficiency
As noted in the supplement to the U.S. Surgeon General's report on mental health (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001), overcoming language access barriers associated with limited English proficiency (LEP) should help to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in mental health care access and quality. Federal policy requires remedial action to overcome language barriers: Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Medicaid and …
Strategies to improve minority access to public mental health services in California
The present study documented and evaluated steps taken by public mental health administrators to recruit members of underrepresented ethnic minority populations into treatment. By surveying county‐level ethnic program specialists in the decentralized California state system, the study identified strategies considered effective for reaching African American, Asian American, Latino, and Native Americans communities and overcoming barriers to treatm…

The effects of financial and administrative decentralization of public mental health services in california
This preliminary report illustrates the social and financial benefits of decentralization of public mental health services. Increased local financial risk and flexibility have resulted in greater use of less costly local outpattent mental health services, which are less restrictive and empirically more therapeutic
