Anxiety Disorders Among African-American and White Primary Medical Care Patients

The prevalence of current anxiety disorders and associated clinical patterns was examined in a sample of 125 African American and 120 white primary medical care patients between ages 18 and 64. Patients who indicated they had at least one mood or anxiety symptom in response to a screening questionnaire were interviewed to determine the presence of a DSM-IV anxiety, mood, or possible alcohol abuse disorder. Demographic data and data on mental- and physical-health-related functioning and health service utilization were also collected. The authors found no racial differences in the proportions of patients who met DSM-IV criteria for the disorders, nor in their symptom patterns, level of functional disability, or rates of health and mental health service utilization.
