Abstract

College students are at risk for mental health concerns and hazardous alcohol use, yet few access services. We examined perceived barriers to and benefits of mental health services utilization (MHSU) among college students with and without symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or hazardous alcohol use. Second-year students (n=756; 63.4% female, 76.3% White non-Hispanic) were asked about depression, anxiety, alcohol use, and perceived barriers to and benefits of MHSU. Approximately 20% of students reported depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and/or hazardous alcohol use. About 40% of students with mental health symptoms and 25% of students engaging in hazardous alcohol use reported MHSU. Cost was the most cited barrier (89.1%), while improved mental health was the most cited benefit (97.7%). Compared to males, females had greater odds of reporting cost, lack of insurance, and not knowing where to go for help as barriers and increased communication as a benefit. Students reporting depression or anxiety symptoms endorsed more barriers than students without symptoms, specifically discomfort sharing feelings with another person, wanting to handle problems on one's own, and lack of insurance. Campus administrators and counseling centers may benefit from understanding specific perceived benefits and barriers among students to develop strategies for outreach.

摘要

大学生面临心理健康问题和危险饮酒的风险,但很少有人获得相关服务。我们研究了有或没有抑郁、焦虑和/或危险饮酒症状的大学生在利用心理健康服务(MHSU)方面所感知到的障碍和益处。我们询问了二年级学生(n = 756;63.4%为女性,76.3%为非西班牙裔白人)关于抑郁、焦虑、饮酒情况以及他们对利用心理健康服务的障碍和益处的看法。约20%的学生报告有抑郁症状、焦虑症状和/或危险饮酒行为。约40%有心理健康症状的学生和25%有危险饮酒行为的学生报告利用了心理健康服务。费用是被提及最多的障碍(89.1%),而心理健康状况改善是被提及最多的益处(97.7%)。与男性相比,女性更有可能将费用、缺乏保险以及不知道去哪里寻求帮助列为障碍,并将沟通增加列为益处。报告有抑郁或焦虑症状的学生比没有症状的学生认可更多的障碍,特别是在与他人分享感受时感到不适、想自己解决问题以及缺乏保险。校园管理人员和咨询中心可能会从了解学生中具体感知到的益处和障碍中受益,从而制定外展策略。
