Abstract: We examined barriers to help-seeking among Latino (n=596; M_age=36.22), Black (n=299; M_age=37.87), and White (n=299; M_age=43.76) male victims of intimate partner violence. Latino men reported the greatest number of barriers, followed by White and then Black men. Key barriers included fear of false accusations, blame, and difficulty disclosing to others.
