We examined associations between multifaceted mental illness stigma and help-seeking from different sources of behavioral health supports among understudied Latino older adults with behavioral health problems.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Data come from a cross-sectional survey that included U.S.-based Latino residents ages 50-86 (N=274; 2021). The survey measured mental illness biopsychosocial causal beliefs, treatment efficacy beliefs, and social rejection beliefs as multiple facets of mental illness stigma that may influence mental and physical health help-seeking behaviors from four sources: traditional media, online\/digital media, family\/friends, and healthcare providers. Linear regression models examined associations between each stigma component and each help-seeking outcome, adjusting for personal\/family factors in the full sample of Latino older adults and among a subsample reporting a self\/familial behavioral health problem (n=173).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Among Latino older adults with self\/familial behavioral health problems, higher biopsychosocial causal beliefs were associated with increased mental and physical health help-seeking from healthcare providers (p&lt;0.05), while social rejection beliefs were associated with decreased mental\/physical health help-seeking from healthcare providers (p&lt;0.05). Similarly, higher biopsychosocial causal beliefs were associated with increased mental health help-seeking from traditional media (p&lt;0.05) among those with self\/familial behavioral health problems. No associations were observed between stigma components and mental\/physical health help-seeking from online media or family\/friends.
