Question

It is often difficult for minorities, and particularly Black communities, to have good access to mental health care. Considering what you have learned about disparities in health care, which is the MOST likely reason this is the case? Physical health care is often not as effective in minority communities, creating distrust of medical professionals. Mental health care is significantly more expensive than care for physical issues, so minority communities cannot afford it. Because mental health services are common and easy to access, they are not seen as a priority. Minority communities have fewer mental health issues than other communities, so services rarely emerge where they live.
