The Association of Nativity With Mental Health Treatments Among Asian and Latine Adults: NHANES 2011–2020

Foreign-born adults are less likely to use mental health treatments, including using antidepressants or seeing an MHP. Independent of nativity, Asian (vs. Latine) respondents were less likely to engage in all treatment types. Asian and Latine group differences in any treatment use and seeing an MHP were present among foreign-born respondents only, suggesting that these differences may be driven by nativity-related factors.
