Abstract
We tested whether relationship closeness moderates mental health and help-seeking in a veteran sample. A significant two-way interaction prompted mediation analysis, which showed that mental health fully mediated the relationship between relationship closeness and help-seeking. The current study extends the literature on facilitators and barriers to help-seeking for service members.
