目的：本研究考察了美国现役军人接受初级保健或专业心理健康提供者治疗的心理健康治疗经历。方法：对全国1659名现役军人进行心理健康治疗经历调查。结果：约17%的受访者报告在过去12个月内接受过精神卫生保健。看过专业心理健康提供者（14%）的服务人员是看过初级保健提供者（5%）的三倍。在那些看过专业医生的人中，79%的人认为治疗“有很大或一些”帮助，没有人认为治疗“一点也没有”帮助。在那些看过初级保健提供者的人中，只有51%的人认为治疗有很大或一些帮助，15%的人认为治疗根本没有帮助。结论：在解决服务人员未满足的心理健康需求时，应考虑治疗的利用模式和观念。
Objective: This study examined the mental health treatment experiences of active-duty U. S. service members who received treatment from primary care or specialty mental health providers. Methods: A national sample of active-duty service members (N=1,659) was surveyed about mental health treatment experiences. Results: About 17% of respondents reported receipt of mental health care in the prior 12 months. Three times as many service members had seen a specialty mental health provider (14%) as had seen a primary care provider (5%). Of those who had seen a specialty provider, 79% thought treatment helped "a lot or some" and none stated that treatment was "not at all" helpful. Of those who had seen a primary care provider, only 51% thought treatment had helped a lot or some and 15% viewed treatment as not helping at all. Conclusions: Patterns of utilization and perceptions of treatment should be considered when addressing the unmet mental health needs of service members.
