Enhancing Research Through Peer Review – Sharing Purpose Statements and Research Questions
The proposed research is centered on mental healthcare. The identified problem warranting the study is poor access to mental healthcare, causing diminished consumption of mental healthcare resources and increased functional decline, morbidity, and mortality. The proposed research study seeks to address this problem by highlighting specific factors that interplay in poor access to mental healthcare across ethnic minority groups.
The purpose of this proposed qualitative study is to explore the factors contributing to poor access to mental healthcare among ethnic minority groups. The study will draw 15 participants from a community in Akron, OH. The community predominantly consists of ethnic minority groups, with African Americans constituting the majority. The research participants will be subjected to a semi-structured interview that will investigate their perception of the potential barriers to mental healthcare and their perceptions of the available mental healthcare resources in the community. The questions selected interrogate aspects of the purpose statement and are specific to the community under review. The articles selected, which informed the establishment of the research questions, are equally related to the topic researched and are based on mental healthcare.
