Disparities in mental health, specifically in the underutilization of services, remain a pervasive barrier to equitable outcomes for ethnic minority populations. One population that has consistently been found to underutilize mental health services is Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders (AAPIs). Extant studies suggest that mental illness rates among AAPIs are within the same range as non-Hispanic Whites; however, AAPIs are considerably less likely to utilize services relative to their population size. The goal of this study was to assess the predictive value of a range of variables on help-seeking behaviors. Predictor variables assessed include ethnicity, SES, gender, age, probable DSM-IV disorder status, distress, and experiences of discrimination. Help-seeking behaviors assessed included: 1) use of any service, 2) use of formal services, 3) use of informal services, and 4) use of specialty mental health services. A sample of 2095 adults was drawn from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). A series of logistic regressions were conducted. A probable DSM-IV mood or anxiety disorder and high levels of distress were found to significantly predict all forms of service use. Predictors of all types of service use were found to vary by ethnic subgroup, with significant differences according to DSM-IV disorder status Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
