Our study explored race and ethnicity differences in reporting of symptoms to physicians and other practitioners among respondents to the 1999 National Health Interview Survey who screened positive for depression. Respondents were asked if they had told a doctor or another practitioner (nurse, social worker, psychologist, clergy, other) about their problems. Whites and Hispanics were significantly more likely to communicate with a physician or other practitioner than were African Americans, even with personal characteristics held constant. Practitioners should actively elicit descriptions of feelings and mood, especially with African Americans, and be prepared to treat or refer patients appropriately.
我们的研究探讨了1999年全国健康访谈调查中抑郁症筛查呈阳性的受访者在向医生和其他从业者报告症状方面的种族和民族差异。受访者被问及是否向医生或其他从业者（护士、社会工作者、心理学家、神职人员等）提及过他们的问题。即使个人特征保持不变，白人和西班牙裔比非裔美国人更有可能与医生或其他从业者交流。从业者应积极引导患者描述感受和情绪，尤其是对于非裔美国人，并准备好适当地治疗或转诊患者。
