To examine what factors impact college students in the United States who are deciding to initiate or continue mental health services. Spring 2021 undergraduate students (N = 453) at a large urban university. Online, cross-sectional survey with mental health service experience as the independent variable and social support, accessibility, attitudes toward mental health, mental health literacy, and trust of mental health professionals as the dependent variables, as well as thematic analysis of reasons to discontinue services. Individuals with lower levels of social support and higher levels of mental health literacy were more likely to have received therapy. Participants tended to discontinue services because of negative experiences, accessibility problems, negative attitudes toward services, or they felt better. Mental health literacy, social support, and accessibility are significant predictors of college student service use and should be taken into consideration by university administration.
为了探究哪些因素会影响美国决定开始或继续接受心理健康服务的大学生。2021 年春季，一所大型城市大学的本科生（N=453）。采用在线横向调查，以心理健康服务体验为自变量，以社会支持、可及性、对心理健康的态度、心理健康素养和对心理健康专业人员的信任为因变量，并对停止服务的原因进行主题分析。社会支持水平较低和心理健康素养水平较高的人更有可能接受过治疗。参与者停止服务的原因主要是负面体验、可及性问题、对服务的负面态度，或者他们感觉好转了。心理健康素养、社会支持和可及性是大学生服务使用的重要预测因素，应该得到大学管理部门的重视。
