There is a lack of empirical research that test theories regarding Black male mental health treatment disparities. The present study evaluates a theory that explains Black men’s beliefs, perceptions of specific structural racism, and cultural barriers to mental health (CBMH) treatment. Structural equation modeling ( N = 240) was used to estimate and compare primary and competing structural models. Maximum likelihood estimation with Satorra-Bentler (SB) standard errors were used. A model showing tripartite police fear (TPF) was positively correlated to Black men’s perceptions of CBMH treatment demonstrated the best fit with the data. After adding one theoretically relevant correlated error, the model was no longer significantly different than the optimal saturated model. Policy and cognitive-behavioral practice implications of the study are discussed
