Mental health and barriers to help-seeking among South Asians in Hong Kong at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study
Among South Asians in Hong Kong, those who were younger and not married were more likely to be at risk of developing mental health disorders, whereas males, full-time workers, those with a lower education level, and those at risk of developing mental health disorders were more likely to report having help-seeking barriers. The predictors of perceived barriers to help-seeking were full-time employment, a lower education level, and being at risk of developing mental health disorders.
