Various factors, including mistrust and disparities, prevent people of color from taking advantage of mental health services. Previous research has focused on mistrust, disparities, and stigma. However, little is understood about how one's attitude affects participation in mental health. The authors surveyed 129 African American and Latino community participants to examine the relationships among attitudes, stigma, and help-seeking behavior. Linear regression analyses revealed that attitude is a unique predictor in one's decision to seek counseling and is influenced by the presence of stigma.Varios factores, entre los que se incluyen la falta de confianza y las disparidades, impiden que las personas de color aprovechen los servicios de salud mental. Las investigaciones hasta ahora se han centrado en la falta de confianza, las disparidades y los estigmas. Sin embargo, falta mucho para comprender cómo la actitud de una persona afecta a su participación en la salud mental. Los autores entrevistaron a 129 participantes de comunidades afroamericanas y latinas para examinar las relaciones entre actitudes, estigmas y la búsqueda de ayuda. Los análisis de regresión lineal revelaron que la actitud es un indicador único en la decisión de un individuo de buscar servicios de consejería, y está influida por la presencia de estigmas
