The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between mental health stigma and help-seeking intentions and behaviors at a rural university and explore differences in patterns of help seeking by race/ethnicity. We hypothesize higher levels of mental health stigma will be related to lower levels of help-seeking. Multiple regression will be used to examine predictors of mental health help-seeking.
We found that higher levels of stigma lead to a lower likelihood to seek help.
