| Abstract |
Attitudes of Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders toward mental health & help-seeking partly account for rates of underutilization of formal mental health services. Cultural themes & concepts associated with service utilization are explored here to better understand patterns & trends in help-seeking in a Western context. Analysis of the norms & values governing Asian & Pacific Islander behaviors reveals numerous implications for sensitive & effective treatment. 40 References. Adapted from the source document
