Race proved to be an important moderator variable in the prediction of the receipt of aftercare and psychiatric hospitalization. Only one variable, currently receiving outpatient treatment, predicted receipt of aftercare for both African-Americans and Caucasians. Other predictors for African-Americans were not receiving a substance abuse referral, receiving a mental health referral, and having an appointment. For Caucasians, other predictors were being female, having previous psychiatric admissions, no substance use disorder diagnosis, and not being admitted at index. More previous admissions and recent outpatient treatment predicted hospitalization for both racial groups. Additional predictors for African-Americans were being male, not being accompanied to the psychiatric emergency room (PER) by family, and receiving less intense aftercare. The only other predictor for Caucasians was being accompanied to the PER by the police.
种族被证明是预测后续护理和精神科住院治疗接受情况的一个重要调节变量。只有一个变量，即目前正在接受门诊治疗，能预测非裔美国人和白人的后续护理接受情况。非裔美国人的其他预测因素包括未接受药物滥用转诊、接受心理健康转诊以及有预约。对于白人来说，其他预测因素包括女性、有过精神科住院史、无物质使用障碍诊断以及在索引时未被收治。更多的既往住院史和近期门诊治疗能预测两个种族群体的住院情况。非裔美国人的其他预测因素包括男性、在精神科急诊室（PER）没有家人陪同以及接受的后续护理强度较低。白人的唯一其他预测因素是在PER时有警察陪同。
