Gulliver A, Griffiths KM, Christensen H. · BMC psychiatry · 2010 · Review / synthesis

Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication

Recorded summary

Stigma/embarrassment, limited symptom recognition and self-reliance commonly obstructed help seeking; positive past contact and encouragement facilitated it.

Recorded limitations

Older three-database search, heterogeneous perceived barriers and under-studied facilitators; does not test an intervention.

Evidence and provenance

Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
