Stigma, Culture, and Care: A Quantitative Analysis of Mental Health Treatment-Seeking Behavior Among Hondurans

Through this study, we were able to identify the attitudes of Honduras towards seeking out treatment when faced with mental health conditions. Novel data introduced in this study show a statistically significant positive correlation between social media usage, and mental health treatment-seeking behavior. With the data showing a majority of Hondurans declining the option of seeking out professional treatment for mental health disorders, if they were faced with one, we strongly encourage further research into expanding availability of care for mental health disorders in Honduras.
