This study investigated pre-shooting emotion dysregulation and posttraumatic cognitions as predictors of mental health service utilization (MHU; therapy/medication) following a campus mass shooting among undergraduate women, while controlling for time, age, and post-shooting posttraumatic stress (PTS) and depressive symptoms. Undergraduate women (N = 483, Mage = 19.23, SD = 2.39) were engaged in a study when a mass shooting occurred on Northern Illinois University’s campus. A separate, longitudinal study was then implemented to monitor post-shooting adjustment among these same women. The present study examined predictors of MHU using data from the pre-shooting assessment and the following post-shooting timepoints: nine months (T1; n = 416); 14 months (T2; n = 416); 20 months (T3; n = 417); 26 months (T4; n = 405); and 33 months (T5; n = 397). Multilevel models showed pre-shooting emotion dysregulation and post-shooting PTS and depressive symptoms positively predicted increased likelihood of MHU while controlling for covariates. Posttraumatic cognitions initially predicted increased therapy utilization, but this relationship became nonsignificant after accounting for pre-shooting emotion dysregulation. Pre-shooting emotion dysregulation also weakened the positive relationship between depressive symptoms and therapy utilization and strengthened the positive relationship between age and therapy utilization. Pre-shooting emotion dysregulation and post-shooting mental health symptoms were the most robust predictors of increased MHU following a mass shooting. Findings suggest women exposed to a mass shooting engage in treatment when needed, but preexisting emotion dysregulation may serve as a barrier for those who go on to develop depression.
