The study had access to 12,436 unduplicated users of services. The study found Whites had the highest per capita costs, while Asians incurred the lowest. However, after controlling for other demographic characteristics, Asians incurred higher costs than Whites. This reversal of Whites and Asians occurred because cost distributions are more skewed for Whites than Asians. Asians had the highest median costs and Hispanics the lowest. The top 5% of users incurred about 50% of the total public mental health costs.
