This study examines clinical and family predictors of perceived need for treatment and engagement in mental health treatment services among community-referred racial/ethnic minority adolescents and their primary caregivers. Findings indicated that the majority of families perceived a need for treatment, but that perceived need was not associated with treatment engagement. Family factors (i.e., low cohesion and high conflict within the family) predicted perceived need for treatment among adolescents, whereas clinical factors (i.e., adolescent internalizing and externalizing symptomatology) predicted caregiver perceived need for adolescent treatment. Neither clinical nor family factors predicted treatment engagement.
本研究调查了社区转介的少数族裔青少年及其主要照顾者中,对治疗需求的认知以及参与心理健康治疗服务的临床和家庭预测因素。研究结果表明,大多数家庭认为有治疗的必要,但这种认知需求与治疗参与度并无关联。家庭因素(即家庭凝聚力低和冲突高)预测了青少年对治疗的认知需求,而临床因素(即青少年的内化和外化症状)预测了照顾者对青少年治疗的认知需求。临床因素和家庭因素均未预测出治疗参与度。
