      functioning in mental health clinics.

AB  - Significant racial and ethnic differences exist in the receipt of psychiatric 
      care and help-seeking. We examined the relationship between race/ethnicity and 
      psychological well-being and functioning in psychiatric outpatients. We analyzed 
      intake data for 8,697 adult patients in psychiatry clinics in New England between 
      2008 and 2010. Patients rated psychological wellbeing using the Schwartz Outcome 
      Scale (SOS-10); clinicians rated the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). In 
      an analysis of variance with covariates, race/ethnicity exhibited a small but 
      statistically significant association with GAF (F(4,8481)=17.902, p<.001) and 
      SOS-10 scores (F(4,8165)=7.271, p<.001). However, after adjustment for 
      physical health and socioeconomic variables, these differences became 
      insignificant or were reversed. Our findings suggest that the relationship 
      between race/ethnicity and mental health may be confounded by other socioeconomic 
      or health differences and may be small compared with the effect of those 
      variables. Future studies on race and psychological well-being should take social 
      determinants of health into consideration.
