Interaction between language and age on early treatment dropouts among foreign residents (IMAGE)
Caption
The graph illustrates the interaction between language and age on early treatment dropouts among foreign residents, represented with scatter plots and trend lines. Orange circles denote Japanese-speaking migrants, while grey triangles indicate non-Japanese-speaking migrants who used language support at their treatment visits. The trend lines are depicted with orange and black dotted lines for Japanese and non-Japanese speakers, respectively. The horizontal axis represents age, and the vertical axis shows the predicted rate of early treatment dropout. The data reveals that younger Japanese-speaking migrants (shown in orange) had higher rates of dropping out of mental health treatment early. In contrast, this trend was not observed among non-Japanese speakers (shown in grey and black).
