Abstract

No lifetime utilization of mental health treatment (NUMT) is an indicator of the treatment gap among people in need of treatment. Until now, the overall prevalence and predictors of NUMT have never been explored in France. In a 39,617-respondent survey, participants were assessed for NUMT, i.e., no lifetime psychotherapy, psychopharmacotherapy, or psychiatric hospitalization. Mental disorders were investigated using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI 5.0.0). MINI diagnoses were grouped into five categories: mood disorders (MDs); anxiety disorders (ADs); alcohol use disorders (AUDs); substance use disorders (SUDs); and psychotic disorders (PDs). Using multivariable logistic regression models, we explored the factors associated with NUMT among the MINI-positive respondents. The odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated for each factor. In total, 12,818 (32.4%) respondents were MINI-positive, 46.5% of them reported NUMT (35.6% for MDs, 39.7% for PDs, 42.8% for ADs, 56.0% for AUDs, and 56.7% for SUDs). NUMT was positively associated with being male [OR 1.75 (1.59-1.91)] and practising religion [OR 1.13 (1.02-1.25)] and negatively associated with ageing [per 10-year increase: OR 0.88 (0.85-0.91)], being single [OR 0.74 (0.66-0.84)], being a French native [OR 0.67 (0.60-0.75)], and experiencing MDs [OR 0.39 (0.36-0.43)], ADs [OR 0.47 (0.43-0.52)], AUDs [OR 0.83 (0.73-0.96)], SUDs [OR 0.77 (0.65-0.91)], or PDs [OR 0.50 (0.43-0.59)]. In France, NUMT rates were the highest for AUDs and SUDs. Additionally, suffering from MDs or ADs increased the lifetime treatment utilization for people having any other mental disorder. This finding emphasizes the need to better screen AUDs and SUDs among people treated for MDs or ADs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 42. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 October 2023.
All research outputs
#1,005,129
of 25,724,500 outputs
Outputs from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#167
of 2,728 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22,157
of 343,824 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#6
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,724,500 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,728 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,824 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
