This study sought to analyze factors affecting the help\u2010seeking behavior of male victims of IPV using a web survey.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Male IPV victims living in Japan were recruited to participate in a web\u2010based questionnaire survey conducted on February 25 and 26, 2021. A total of 1466 men were divided into two groups: Group 1 (43 men) consisted of victims who sought help and Group 2 consisted of victims (1423 men) who had not sought help. The Domestic Violence Screening Inventory, a 20\u2010item questionnaire regarding IPV exposure, and the Patient Health Questionnaire\u20109 were used, along with the questions regarding help\u2010seeking behaviors for Group 1.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 43 victims, 28 victims (65.1%) used exclusively informal supports, eight victims (18.6%) used exclusively formal supports, and seven victims (16.3%) used both. Logistic regression analyses revealed that only physical violence was significantly associated with help\u2010seeking behaviors among types of abuse\/violence (odds ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20094.51, confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u20091.95\u201310.50, P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001).
