Abstract
ABSTRACTThe authors explored military officers’ beliefs about stigma-related barriers to seeking mental health treatment. Participants (N = 190) included officers from the 4 major branches of service between the ranks of O-3 and O-6. Paired-sample t tests showed participants’ own beliefs about stigma-related barriers to mental health were more negative than their perceptions of peers’ beliefs. Scaled scores on personal beliefs about stigma-related barriers to seeking treatment were associated with willingness to seek help, while perceptions of peers’ beliefs were not. Implications on help seeking and stigma related to mental health are explored, as well as limitations and steps for future research.
