An ethnic match between the therapist and the client and when ethnic-specific services are carried out have been proven by researchers to have better outcomes on clients.
It was discovered that the outcome from ethnic-specific services (ESS) had better outcomes than when mainstream services are carried out. It resulted to a significance in the relationship between cost-utilization and outcome for ESS for patients. An effective and efficient mental health treatment is likely to be achieved when ethnic-specific services are adopted.
