Literature Review
Lower level of formal service use among minority CGs compared with White CGs (yet, inconclusive)
Disparities in types of formal service use between minority and White CGs
Comparison between White and non-White CGs in most studies
Research Questions
Do racial/ethnic CGs use services differently from White?
Do racial/ethnic groups rely on different sources of service?
Do they use different types of services? How do they see barriers to service use?
