Healio (9/25, Demko) reports there appear to be “significant disparities in treatment across race/ethnicity among college students with” mental illnesses. After examining “the prevalence of [mental illness] and treatment utilization among more than 13,000 college students of color using data from 43,375 undergraduate and graduate students at 60 institutions that participated in the survey-based Healthy Minds Study from 2012 to 2015,” investigators found that “college students of color had greater levels of unmet mental health needs relative to white students.” The findings were published in the September issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health.
