This single-centered study described patterns of antipsychotic prescribing based on race in an inpatient psychiatry facility. Future studies, using larger and more diverse sample populations, are recommended to elucidate the role that patients' race, admission status, and family support play in the dose and appropriateness of antipsychotics prescribed for mental health care.
