Readiness to change the barriers to treatment seeking in college students with a mental disorder

College students show a very high prevalence of mental disorders and suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and low rates of treatment uptake. This study aims to assess treatment access, intentions to seek help, and perceived barriers to help-seeking. Results show that receipt of treatment was low, particularly among names and those with no STBs (suicidal thoughts and behaviors), and men were less likely to intend to access external professional services and were more likely than females to rate embarrassment or worry about being treated differently as important reasons for not seeking treatment.
