- Abstract:
- Mental illness is among the most common health conditions affecting adults in California. Many participants in the Listening to Black Californians study have personal experience with mental health conditions. In the survey, nearly one in four Black Californians (23%) report a mental health condition, and nearly one in seven (14%) report that a household member has a mental health condition. Female respondents are more likely to report mental health conditions (30%) than male respondents (19%). However, studies have found that Black men underreport mental health conditions. Black Californians who report mental health conditions are more likely to have Medi-Cal coverage (33%) and less likely to have private insurance coverage (45%) than those who do not report mental health conditions (19% Medi-Cal, 62% private insurance).
