摘要	African American and Hispanic youth with mental health problems are less likely than their Caucasian counterparts to receive mental health services. Primary care providers are often the source of mental health care for children and may play a role in reducing disparities. This research investigated parent attitudes associated with receiving advice about child mental health in primary care and whether attitudes differed according to race and ethnicity during 773 visits to 54 providers in 13 clinics. Hispanics were more likely than non-Hispanics to agree that primary care providers should treat child mental health and were more willing to allow their child to receive medications or visit a therapist for a mental health problem if recommended by the provider. African American parents were significantly less willing than Caucasians and Hispanics to allow their child to receive medications for mental health but did not differ in their willingness to visit a therapist. These findings suggest that African American parents are generally as willing as Caucasian parents to have their child’s mental health needs addressed in primary care and that primary care may be a particularly good point of intervention for Hispanic youth with mental health problems.
