Abstract

Muslims in Canada may have unmet psychological service needs, but little is known about their past use of, and future preferences for, mental health services. We addressed this gap with an online survey of 238 Canadian Muslims. Analyses investigated differences in intentions to seek support from various informal and formal sources. A majority (65%) of the sample reported at least moderate levels of current distress but only 48.7% sought professional treatment in their lifetimes. Participants preferred dealing with future psychological concerns themselves or with friends/family, closely followed by professional help. Imams were the least preferred source of support.
