“…discrepancies in caregiver-reported versus youth-reported mental health outcomes (e.g., Breland-Noble & Weller, 2012) and disparities in access to providers (e.g., Cook et al, 2019), the prevalence of mental health conditions may be underreported in this study, which, by extension, may indicate that the current findings do not accurately portray the relationship between mental health conditions and class membership. In sum, the current study provides instruction and an illustrative example of LCA.…”

“…Results need to be interpreted with caution because the presence of a current mental health condition was based on caregivers reporting whether a provider told them their adolescent had a mental health condition. Given potential racial biases in diagnostic practices as well as previous research consistently finding discrepancies in caregiver-reported versus youth-reported mental health outcomes (e.g., Breland-Noble & Weller, 2012) and disparities in access to providers (e.g., Cook et al, 2019), the prevalence of mental health conditions may be underreported in this study, which, by extension, may indicate that the current findings do not accurately portray the relationship between mental health conditions and class membership. In sum, the current study provides instruction and an illustrative example of LCA.…”

Latent class analysis (LCA) is a statistical procedure used to identify qualitatively different subgroups within populations who often share certain outward characteristics. The assumption underlying LCA is that membership in unobserved groups (or classes) can be explained by patterns of scores across survey questions, assessment indicators, or scales. The application of LCA is an active area of research and continues to evolve. As more researchers begin to apply the approach, detailed information on key considerations in conducting LCA is needed. In the present article, we describe LCA, review key elements to consider when conducting LCA, and provide an example of its application.

“…These conditions are all significant causes of morbidity and mortality in the US and are responsible for significant economic and societal burden. Among these diagnosis, significant health disparities exist including significant unmet need, poorer quality of care, and disparate healthcare utilization within these populations [ 31 – 33 ].…”

Background. Research based on emergency departments (EDs) primarily focuses on medical conditions. There is limited research that investigates patients who willingly participate in research. This current study explored ED super-utilizers’ (SUs’) and nonsuper-utilizers’ (NSUs’) attitudes toward research. Objective. The study assesses the willingness of SUs to participate in research. We hypothesize that the SU population will be as interested as nonutilizers in participating in medical research. Methods. This prospective observational study stratified participants into SU and NSU cohorts based on their self-reported number of ED visits within 6 months. Surveys were captured in a secured database and analyzed using SAS 9.4. Results. 7,481 completed questionnaires. SUs were more interested in participating in all types of research compared to NSUs. Both groups were most willing to participate in surveys. Neither group was particularly interested in studies that required medications. SUs were not more willing to participate in studies without payment than NSUs. Both groups trusted researchers at the same rates. Conclusion. Although rarely included in medical research, SUs were more willing to participate in nearly all types of research and expressed a similar trust in medical research when compared to nonsuper-utilizers.

“…Based on Andersen's model of health services use, we consider that healthcare use results from the combination of a host of factors, including predisposing factors (in particular socio-demographic characteristics), enabling factors (such as an individual's living environment) and healthcare needs [20]. Based on previous literature, we also specifically define healthcare disparities as differences in access to and quality of healthcare which are not due to clinical appropriateness and patient needs [21].…”

Disparities in the Use of General Somatic Care among Individuals Treated for Severe Mental Disorders and the General Population in France

Individuals with severe mental illnesses (SMI) face a striking excess and premature mortality which has been demonstrated in several national contexts. This phenomenon, which constitutes a red-flag indicator of public health inequities, can be hypothesized to result from healthcare access issues which have been insufficiently documented so far. In this context, our objective was to explore patterns of general somatic healthcare use of individuals treated for SMI in comparison to those of the general population in France using national health administrative data and a matched case-control study. Differences in the use of general and specific somatic preventive care services, primary care, routine specialized somatic care and admissions to non-psychiatric hospital departments for somatic causes were described between cases and controls after adjustment on differing clinical needs, socio-economic status, and living environment. Our results show a lower use of general preventive care services and of routine specialized somatic care in the SMI population, despite more frequent comorbidities, and a higher occurrence of avoidable hospitalizations, despite higher contacts with primary care physicians. These findings suggest that the health system fails to address the specific needs of this vulnerable population and support the development of measures aimed at reducing this gap.
