Psychiatry has shown little regard for the special health concerns of African Americans, who are disproportionately represented among America's homeless. Although psychiatric literature is replete with data on homeless mentally disordered citizens, only incidental references are made to African Americans to satisfy federally funded research guidelines mandating the inclusion of racial minorities. Additionally, psychiatry has hesitated to suggest corrective actions for this national scourge and has begun to raise questions about the efficacy of case management and demonstration projects.
精神病学很少关注非裔美国人的特殊健康问题，在美国无家可归者中，非裔美国人所占比例过高。尽管精神病学文献中充斥着关于无家可归的精神障碍患者的数据，但提及非裔美国人只是为了满足联邦资助研究指南中关于纳入少数族裔的要求，只是顺带提及。此外，精神病学对于解决这一全国性祸害的纠正措施一直犹豫不决，并且开始对病例管理和示范项目的效果提出质疑。
