Depression treatment disparities are well documented. Differing treatment preferences across social groups have been suggested as a cause of these disparities. However, existing studies of treatment preferences have been limited to individuals currently receiving clinical care, and existing measures of depression treatment preferences have not accounted for factors that may be disproportionately relevant to the preferences of disparities populations. This study therefore aimed to assess depression treatment preferences by race/ethnicity and gender in a representative community sample, while accounting for access to healthcare, provider characteristics, and past experiences of discrimination in healthcare settings.
