New research published in Adm Policy Ment Health finds that African-American veterans receiving psychiatric treatment experience weaker relationships with providers, less engagement in treatment, and are less likely to adhere to medication than their White counterparts. Johanne Eliacin and fellow researchers explored the association between race and key components of patient engagement while controlling for important sociodemographic factors. Results indicate that race is significantly related to patient experiences of therapeutic factors considered to be instrumental in successful treatment.
