Twelve-month use of mental health services in the United States: Results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, Archives of General Psychiatry, 62, 629–640. The results reported here differ slightly from those reported in Wang et al. (2005) because the latter included updates to the sample weights and diagnostic algorithms that were developed subsequent to carrying out the analyses reported here. These differences are for the most part substantively unimportant.
