Abstract EN
Although racial/ethnic differences have been found in the use of mental health services for depression in the general population, research among Veterans has produced mixed results.
This study examined racial/ethnic differences in the use of mental health services among 148 Operation Enduring/Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) Veterans with high levels of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and evaluated whether religious coping affected service use.
No differences between African American, Hispanic, and Non-Hispanic white Veterans were found in use of secular mental health services or religious counseling.
Women Veterans were more likely than men to seek secular treatment.
After controlling for PTSD symptoms, depression symptom level was a significant predictor of psychotherapy attendance but not medication treatment.
African American Veterans reported higher levels of religious coping than whites.
Religious coping was associated with participation in religious counseling, but not secular mental health services.
