Abstract
In order to understand underutilization of mental health services by Latinos, this study examined the relationship between religiosity, racial identity, and stigma as predictors of help-seeking attitudes in a sample of Latino college students. Results of a hierarchical regression indicated that stigma and racial identity status significantly predicted help-seeking attitudes.
