African American and Latino males are less likely to seek mental health services and obtain adequate care than their White counterparts. They are more likely to receive mental health services in school-based health centers (SBHCs) than in other community-based setting. The purpose of this article was to understand the issues and reasons these adolescents sought mental health services at SBHCs and what their perceptions of the services were. A content analysis of 22 individual interviews was conducted using Krippendorff's method. Five themes emerged from the analysis of the data: the burdens and hurdles of my life, the door is always open, sanctuary within chaos, they get to us, and achieve my best potential. Each of the themes was explored in detail with rich quotations from the adolescents. The findings illuminated the daily struggles these adolescents faced and the impact mental health services in SBHCs had on their daily lives.
与白人男性相比,非裔美国男性和拉丁裔男性寻求心理健康服务并获得充分护理的可能性较小。与其他社区环境相比,他们在学校健康中心(SBHCs)接受心理健康服务的可能性更大。本文的目的是了解这些青少年在SBHCs寻求心理健康服务的问题和原因,以及他们对这些服务的看法。使用克里彭多夫方法对22次个人访谈进行了内容分析。数据分析中出现了五个主题:我生活的负担和障碍、门永远敞开、混乱中的庇护所、他们走近了我们、发挥我最大的潜力。每个主题都通过青少年的丰富引语进行了详细探讨。研究结果揭示了这些青少年面临的日常挣扎,以及SBHCs中的心理健康服务对他们日常生活的影响。
