b. They characteristically do not engage in early termination from care.

d. They tend to avoid using family support systems.
A
Research suggests that members of minority groups delay seeking help until their problems are intense, chronic, and at a stage that is difficult to treat, and until community and family support systems have been exhausted. Delays in accessing care and early termination from care create a cyclical reliance on more costly health care services.
