  • Non-Hispanic Black respondents showed higher rates of inpatient care compared to non-Hispanic White respondents.
  • No notable rural-urban differences were found in either inpatient or outpatient mental health care usage.
  • Cultural competence initiatives are essential to address the striking racial and ethnic disparities in mental health care.
