Mental Health Stigma and Self-Concealment as Predictors of Help-Seeking Attitudes in Latino/a College Students. Hadrian Mendoza & Akihiko Masuda, PhD. Georgia State University Results Investigations of Mental Health Stigma, Self-Concealment, Age, Gender, and Past Help-Seeking Experience as Unique Predictors of Help-Seeking Attitudes: Summary of Regression Analysis Results (cont.) Zero-Order Relations of All Study Variables Table 2 Discussion Table 1 Latinos in the U.S. are unlikely to seek professional help for mental disorders and psychological distress ( e.g., Kearney et al., 2005 ), despite suffering from disproportionate disability from such disorders due to disparities in care ( USDHHS, 2001 ). Considering Latinos are now the largest ethnic minority group in the U.S. ( Humes et al., 2011 ), treatment underutilization in this population warrants further investigation. One way to study help-seeking is to examine Help- Seeking Attitudes-- one’s overall attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help ( Fischer & Turner, 1970 ) Previous research has shown gender, past experience of seeking psychological treatment, mental health stigma, and self-concealment to uniquely predict help-seeking attitudes among various non-Latino ethnic groups ( Masuda et al., 2012; Masuda et al., 2009a ). Mental Health Stigmatizing Attitudes : objectification, and dehumanization of a person known to have or appearing to have a mental disorder ( Hayes et al, 2002; Masuda et al, 2011 ) Self-Concealment: the active concealment from others of consciously accessible private personal information that is perceived by the concealer as negative or distressing ( Larson & Chastain, 1990 ) The present study investigated whether mental health stigma and self-concealment would uniquely and separately predict help-seeking attitudes in Latino college students, while controlling for age, gender, and previous treatment-seeking experience.

Note. n = 129, *p<.05, **p<.01  This is the first study that investigated the relationship between mental health stigma, self-concealment, and help-seeking attitudes in a Latino/a sample.  Mental health stigma, age, gender, and previous treatment experience separately and uniquely predicted help-seeking attitudes, with greater stigma, male gender, younger age, and a lack prior treatment experience predicting poorer help-seeking attitudes.  Self-concealment did not predict help-seeking attitudes, contrary to previous findings with non-Latino ethnic groups.  These findings suggest that targeting mental health stigma among Latino college students may help increase treatment utilization among this population.  This is the first study that investigated the relationship between mental health stigma, self-concealment, and help-seeking attitudes in a Latino/a sample.  Mental health stigma, age, gender, and previous treatment experience separately and uniquely predicted help-seeking attitudes, with greater stigma, male gender, younger age, and a lack prior treatment experience predicting poorer help-seeking attitudes.  Self-concealment did not predict help-seeking attitudes, contrary to previous findings with non-Latino ethnic groups.  These findings suggest that targeting mental health stigma among Latino college students may help increase treatment utilization among this population ATSPPH Total-- 2.ATSPPH-RN.81**-- 3.ATSPPH-ST.68**.33**-- 4.ATSPPH-IPO.81**.49**.62**-- 5.ATSPPH-C.79**.62**.29**.44**-- 6.SAB-.22*-.18*-.25**-.23** SCS **-.21* Age.29**.30**.17.19*.23** Gender.28** ** Past Experience-.26**-.32**-.21* * M SD α VariablesβBSE BtP Overall Help-seeking Attitudes (ATSPPH-T), R 2 =.24** Mental Health Stigma (SAB) Self-Concealment (SCS) Age Gender Past Experience Recognition of Need (ATSPPH-RN), R 2 =.24** Mental Health Stigma (SAB) Self-Concealment (SCS) Age Gender Past Experience Stigma Tolerance (ATSPPH-ST), R 2 =.21** Mental Health Stigma (SAB) Self-Concealment (SCS) Age Gender Past Experience Interpersonal Openness (ATSPPH-IPO), R 2 =.18** Mental Health Stigma (SAB) Self-Concealment (SCS) Age Gender Past Experience Confidence (ATSPPH-C), R 2 =.11* Mental Health Stigma (SAB) Self-Concealment (SCS) Age Gender Past Experience
