Abstract
Data from 567 Latino college students was used to examine whether gender, public stigma, self-stigma, and acculturation related to seeking (a) psychological help or (b) mental health services for 17 issues. Self-stigma and being male were barriers to seeking psychological help and/or mental health services by Latino college students.
