This study examines the relationship between designated Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas (MH HPSAs) and mental health-related 911 calls in New York City. Negative binomial regression models were used to estimate the relationship between MH HPSAs and MH 911 calls after adjusting for the population size and other neighborhood characteristics. The study found that neighborhoods designated as MH HPSAs had higher MH 911 calls compared to non-shortage areas, with a 27% increase in expected MH 911 calls after adjustment. Moreover, the results indicated that neighborhoods with higher rates of homelessness and poverty generated more MH 911 calls. The findings suggest a need to improve access to mental health services to reduce the burden on police and emergency services for crisis interventions in areas with limited resources.
本研究考察了指定精神卫生专业短缺地区（MH HPSAs）与纽约市精神卫生相关 911 来电之间的关系。使用负二项回归模型，在调整人口规模和其他社区特征后，估计 MH HPSAs 与 MH 911 来电之间的关系。研究发现，与非短缺地区相比，被指定为 MH HPSAs 的社区 MH 911 来电更高，调整后预计 MH 911 来电增加了 27%。此外，研究结果表明，无家可归和贫困率较高的社区产生了更多的 MH 911 来电。研究结果表明，需要改善精神卫生服务的可及性，以减轻资源有限地区警察和紧急服务部门对危机干预的负担。
