✦ Synopsis

The relationships between relatively low utilization rates for non-whites and catchment area demography and center service characteristics were examined for 142 federally funded community mental health centers. Center characteristics were less strongly related to relative utilization by non-whites than were area demographic characteristics. Several characteristics of the black population were among those most highly associated with relative non-white utilization rates.
