A sample of 154 family member respondents participated in an online cross-sectional survey. Ethnoracially minoritized family members disproportionately made early contact with informal resources (e.g., religious/spiritual leaders, friends, online support groups) on the pathway to care compared to non-Hispanic white family members who tended to contact formal resources (primary care doctors/nurses or school counselors). A description of early contact among Black and Hispanic family members are also described. Study findings highlight that ethnoracially minoritized families seek out support and/or resources from informal resources embedded within their community. Our findings suggest the need for targeted strategies that leverage the reach of informal settings to capture family members as well as general community members. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
