✦ Synopsis

In an effort to ascertain an overall national pattern for the utilization of mental health services by Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders (AA/PI), we statistically analyzed 1986 survey data provided by the National Institute of Mental Health. Analyses focused on overall national utilization rates, along with rates for states with major (100,000 or more), moderate (50,000 to 99,999), and small (less than 50,000) Asian American/Pacific Islander populations. All AA/PI utilization rates were contrasted with those for Euro Americans. Nationally, such contrasts indicate an extensive pattern of differential usage (p's Ͻ .0001) with Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders being three times less likely than their Euro American counterparts to use available mental health services. Moreover, with one exception (Colorado), the states show patterns of extensive differential usage reflective of the national trend.
