This study examined the predisposition to seek mental health care in the future for personal and mental health problems among Black males transitioning from the foster care system (n=74). Results of simultaneous multiple regression analysis showed that custody status, diagnosis of a DSM-IV psychiatric disorder, and emotional control contributed significantly to the prediction of Black male's predisposition to seek mental health care. Specifically, Black males who were still in foster care were more predisposed to seek mental health care, whereas those diagnosed with a DSM-IV psychiatric disorder and who adhered more to the norm of emotional control were less predisposed to seek mental health care. Implications for mental health service delivery are discussed.
本研究调查了74名从寄养系统过渡出来的黑人男性未来因个人和心理健康问题寻求心理保健的倾向。同时多元回归分析结果表明，监护状态、DSM-IV精神障碍诊断以及情绪控制对预测黑人男性寻求心理保健的倾向有显著影响。具体而言，仍处于寄养状态的黑人男性更倾向于寻求心理保健，而那些被诊断患有DSM-IV精神障碍且更遵守情绪控制规范的人则不太倾向于寻求心理保健。文中讨论了对心理健康服务提供的启示。
