摘要
This research examines factors associated with a willingness to seek mental health services among young adults living in public housing. Young adults (N = 121) were recruited from public housing in the United States and were administered a two-hour survey measuring demographics, depression, acculturative stress, and willingness to use mental health services. Results indicate that third generation immigrants were more willing to use mental health services than second generation immigrants. Depression was marginally associated with willingness to use mental health services. Implications for practice, policy, and research among immigrant young adults are discussed.
