Gender Identity, Race, and Ethnicity-Based Discrimination in Access to Mental Health Care: Evidence from an Audit Correspondence Field Experiment

Racial, ethnic, and gender minorities face mental health disparities. While mental health care can help, minoritized groups could face discriminatory barriers in accessing it. Discrimination may be particularly pronounced in mental health care because providers have more discretion over accepting patients. Research documents discrimination broadly, including in access to health care, but there is limited empirical research on discrimination in access to mental health care. We provide the first experimental evidence, from a correspondence audit field experiment ("simulated patients" study), of the extent to which transgender and non-binary people, African Americans, and Hispanics face discrimination in access to mental health care appointments. We find significant discrimination against transgender or non-binary African Americans and Hispanics. We do not find evidence of discrimination against White transgender and non-binary prospective patients. We are mostly inconclusive as to if cisgender African Americans or Hispanics face discrimination, except we find evidence of discrimination against cisgender African American women

Santi, culti e simboli nell'etā della secolarizzazione: (1815-1915)

Gli autori portano alla luce alcune questioni cruciali dell'Otto-Novecento, offrendo un preciso quadro della storia religiosa dell'epoca. Le modificazioni intervenute in ambito istituzionale e agiografico, la riproposizione di vecchi culti e il radicarsi di altri, l'affermazione di nuovi modelli di santità e la formazione di miti sacri e profani sono i grandi temi attraverso i quali gli autori dipingono svolte e contraddizioni del vissuto religioso dell'Otto-Novecento
