Subscripts indicate pairwise comparison results using multivariate logistic regressions. Groups with different subscripts are significantly different from each other. For example, African American men with a twelve-month mood disorder have higher rates of service utilization compared to foreign born Caribbean Black men (a vs. b). However, both U.S. born Caribbean Black men with a twelve-month mood disorder share a subscript (a or b) with African American and foreign born Caribbean Black men, indicating they had equal rates of mental health service use. No subscript indicates that there are no significant differences in the rate of service utilization across the three groups. N—number of participants that met the criteria for a disorder during the lifetime. ‡ Pairwise comparisons of service use between the U.S. and foreign born Caribbean Black men were not estimated due to the small samples. na—Rates of service use could not be estimated because none of the U.S. born Caribbean Black men met the DSM-IV criteria for Agoraphobia during the lifetime. SE—standard error.
