退伍军人没有充分利用心理健康服务。我们调查了812名年轻成年退伍军人中寻求治疗的污名与心理健康服务利用之间的关系。较高的公众对寻求治疗的耻辱感与较低的治疗利用率显著相关。尽管许多退伍军人担心如果他们寻求治疗会产生负面印象，但有一小部分退伍军人认为，他们会对处于类似情况的退伍军人同伴持负面看法。针对公众对寻求治疗的耻辱，通过感知的规范干预，可能有助于缩小退伍军人需要和接受帮助之间的差距。
Veterans underutilize mental health services. We investigated the association between treatment seeking stigma and utilization of mental health services in a sample of 812 young adult veterans. Higher perceived public stigma of treatment seeking was significantly related to lower treatment utilization. Although many veterans were concerned about negative perceptions if they were to seek treatment, a much smaller number of them endorsed that they would judge a fellow veteran negatively in similar situation. Targeting perceived public stigma of treatment seeking, through perceived norms interventions, might help in narrowing the gap between the need and receipt of help among veterans.
