“…Much of the research on MHU comes from the disaster literature and has largely relied upon Anderson's (1995) behavioral model as a framework to understand three classes of factors that affect health care utilization: predisposing factors (e.g., age, gender), enabling/disabling factors (e.g., stigma, financial constraints), and perceived or evaluated need (e.g., emotional distress; see also Rodriguez & Kohn, 2008). Although the relevancy of these factors varies and appears dependent on the sample, need has been identified as the strongest predictor of MHU (Anderson, 1995;Smith et al, 2017). For example, across the MHU postdisaster and posttrauma literature, variables such as severity of distress, psychopathological symptoms (e.g., depression, PTSD), and exposure are consistent predictors of increased MHU (e.g., Gavrilovic et al, 2005;Smith et al, 2017;Kantor et al, 2017).…”
