Snowden, Masland, Wallace, and Fawley (2009) examined whether ethnic minority youth receiving additional managed care reduced their propensity to seek emergency or crisis care and if the decrease of the minority was more than that of the whites. According to the article, Combining additional case management activities with reduced use of psychiatric emergency services by ethnic minority children, minority children and adolescents affected by poverty perform poorly in school and are more often immersed in the criminal justice and child welfare systems than their white counterparts. Given socio-economic difficulties, discrimination – past and present – ​​and disregard for cultural, educational, societal and legal dynamics are generally viewed with suspicion by minority families. Minority families from institutions where children are involved are only further isolated because they are generally not proficient in English and may also be unsure of their immigration status. Snowden et. al (2009) suggests that additional case management could help improve the treatment of minority youth and perhaps address real-world difficulties (p. 118). Research has shown that emergency services for minority youth are common, which would be problematic. In a comparative study, urgent care indicated disparities in utilization for minorities and whites. Whereas White, Asian American, Native American, and Black youth were disproportionately more numerous in hospital crisis services targeting the most severe crises, and Black people were also largely disproportionately present in community crisis services. Black children and adolescents have also been shown to attend mental health emergency departments more than all ethnicities. Therefore, it is reasonable to...... middle of document ......management groups on participants' SES, clinical, and behavioral variables and supplement their prior care utilization (Snowden, Masland, Wallace, and Fawley, 2009).Works Citedranko, DL, Thompson-Brenner, H., Thompson, DR, Boisseau, CL, Davis, A., Bryson, SW, . . .
