Studies regarding cultural bias in diagnosis have shown that
a. because most clients in counseling are women, diagnosis tends to be less accurate for male clients than for female clients
b. African American clients are more likely to be diagnosed with severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia
c. Hispanic clients are less likely to be diagnosed with depressive disorders
d. counselors, compared to other mental health professionals, are less likely to allow gender stereotypes to influence their diagnoses
e. female clients are less likely to be prescribed psychotropic medications
b. African American clients are more likely to be diagnosed with severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. (One of the most consistent research findings related to race and diagnosis is the disproportionately high rate of psychotic disorder diagnoses among consumers of color, specifically African Americans. This phenomenon has been documented despite the absence of genetic evidence indicating a true increase in prevalence in this population[9]. For example, research shows that African Americans are almost five times more likely to be diagnosed with Schizophrenia compared with Euro-Americans admitted to state psychiatric hospitals[10]. Surprisingly, clinicians’ own race appears not to alter this diagnostic trend[11]. Although a vast array of race and diagnostic trend-related studies have been conducted, very few literature reviews have complied information for future research or practice purposes.) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4274585/
