  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Panic attacks are a significant health concern within community settings.
  • Understanding healthcare disparities for panic disorder among Hispanic populations is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the rate of medical care utilization for panic attacks among community-dwelling Hispanics.
  • To identify factors associated with healthcare seeking for panic attacks in this demographic.
  • To compare panic disorder characteristics between Hispanic and non-Hispanic white individuals.

Main Methods:

    • Main Results:

    • 53.7% of 54 Hispanic subjects reported seeking medical care for their panic attacks.
    • Healthcare seeking behaviors in non-Hispanic white individuals were not found to be dependent on the studied factors.
    • Key predictors for seeking care among Hispanic individuals included coping style, symptom perception, and transportation access.

    Conclusions:

    • Approximately half of Hispanic individuals experiencing panic attacks do not seek medical attention.
    • Coping mechanisms, how symptoms are perceived, and availability of transportation are significant factors influencing care-seeking among Hispanics.
    • Addressing these barriers may improve healthcare access for Hispanic individuals with panic disorder.
