The mental health workforce in the United States faces a significant challenge: a stark underrepresentation of African American practitioners. This disparity reflects broader issues of racial inequality in healthcare and has far-reaching implications for mental health care delivery, particularly within Black communities. This perspective examines the contributing factors to this underrepresentation, explores its consequences on patient care and research, and proposes strategies to increase diversity in the field. By addressing this issue, we can work towards a more equitable, effective, and culturally responsive mental health care system for all.
美国的心理健康服务人员面临着一项重大挑战
非裔美国从业者的比例严重偏低。这种差异反映了医疗保健领域中更广泛的种族不平等问题，对心理健康服务的提供产生了深远影响，尤其是在黑人社区。本文探讨了导致这种代表性不足的因素，探讨了其对患者护理和研究的影响，并提出了增加该领域多样性的策略。通过解决这个问题，我们可以朝着为所有人建立一个更加公平、有效且具有文化适应性的心理健康护理系统努力。
