The sample included 296 Asian Indians (60.10% females; M = 34.12) recruited from the community. Latent profile analyses indicated a best-fitting three-class solution: Low Mental Health Symptom Severity (Class 1), High Mental Health Severity: Predominantly Internalizing Symptoms (Class 2), and High Mental Health Severity: Predominantly High-Risk Symptoms (Class 3). Multinomial logistic regressions indicated that (1) internal barriers to mental health treatment seeking significantly associated with being in Class 2 vs. 1 and 3; (2) preferences for therapist directiveness and for past orientation significantly associated with being in Class 3 vs. 1; and (3) institutional barriers to mental health treatment seeking and preference for past orientation significantly associated with being in Class 3 vs. 2. Our findings highlight heterogeneity in mental health symptom patterns, disparities in mental health treatment utilization, internal/institutional barriers to seeking mental health treatment among individuals reporting more mental health symptom severity, and cultural-specific treatment preferences. Culturally adapted mental health treatments need to be tailored to the heterogeneous subgroups of Asian Indians based on their mental health symptom patterns. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
