Annotated Bibliography Barriers to healthcare access among U.S. adults with mental health challenges: A population- based study : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8214217/ The primary emphasis of the article is on the significance of adequate healthcare accessibility, which enables people to actively address their mental health problems, resulting in favorable long-term health consequences. Healthcare access in the United States is a matter of public health concern since a significant number of individuals in the country have challenges obtaining necessary healthcare treatments due to limited physical or financial means. The provision of mental healthcare is particularly challenging as a result of enduring societal stigma and the limited availability of treatments. Consequently, individuals with mental health issues may present as complicated patients, thus potentially complicating the provision of care. The aim of this study is to measure the extent to which obstacles to accessing healthcare are present among persons in the United States, including those with and without mental health difficulties (MHC). Additionally, the study seeks to examine the association between MHC and the absence of a regular source of healthcare (NUSC). The researchers performed a cross-sectional analysis using data obtained from the 2017– 2018 National Health Interview Survey. The classification of MHC included three distinct degrees, namely: absence of psychological distress (NPD), moderate psychological distress (MPD), and severe psychological distress (SPD). A total of eight obstacles were assessed, with the major result being the National University Student Count (NUSC). The utilization of multivariable logistic regression was used to measure the connections between the aforementioned factors. The findings: The study population 1
Annotated Bibliography consisted of a total of 50,103 adult individuals. The majority of individuals (95.6%) reported encountering at least one obstacle in accessing healthcare services, while 13.3% reported experiencing non-utilization of services due to these barriers. The rates for each barrier were found to be greatest among individuals with social personality disorder (SPD) and lowest among those with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Exploring Barriers to Mental Health Care in the U.S. https://www.aamcresearchinstitute.org/our- work/issue-brief/exploring-barriers-mental-health-care-us The majority of the population in the United States continues to face significant barriers in accessing care and treatment for mental health concerns, despite the fact that a substantial proportion of U.S. adults (21%, equivalent to 52.9 million individuals) had a mental disease in the year 2020. Persistent challenges exist for persons with insurance, including limited provider availability, insufficient insurance coverage, substantial out- of-pocket expenses, and fragmented healthcare delivery. This concise document delineates the obstacles that impede individuals from getting mental health treatment in the United States and underscores the primary areas of concern that policymakers need to emphasize in order to enhance the accessibility, extent of coverage, and cost of such care. This document aims to facilitate the author's identification of barriers that hinder individuals from accessing mental health treatment in the United States. Key Barriers Limiting Patient Access to Mental Healthcare : https://patientengagementhit.com/news/key-barriers-limiting-patient-access-to-mental- healthcare 2
Annotated Bibliography The article discussed the pervasive unfairness faced by individuals across who struggle with various forms of mental health conditions on a daily basis. However, rather than seeking medical attention as they would for physical ailments such as a sprained ankle or chest discomfort, these patients encounter significant obstacles in accessing mental healthcare, which prevent them from entering the appropriate healthcare environment. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), around 25% of persons encounter a mental illness annually, highlighting the urgent want for comprehensive mental healthcare accessibility across diverse patient demographics. The matter at hand is a prevalent concern that justifies the kind of attention often given to other long-lasting medical conditions. However, the provision of mental healthcare remains inadequate, as shown by the fact that millions of Americans lack access to such treatment, according to Mental Health America. The article posits that, with the lack of availability of mental health treatment, there exists a dearth of mental health experts. According to the study, people often have difficulties in locating a mental health specialist who would take their insurance, even when such professionals are accessible. The presence of narrow networks is a significant barrier for people seeking cheap access to mental healthcare services. This article aims to help the author in identifying the essential elements that contribute to the provision of high-quality mental healthcare access. The paper also provides insight into the challenges faced by patients in accessing mental health experts, which may be attributed to a scarcity of mental healthcare expertise. Redhead, C. S. (2003).
