Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication
Recorded summary
Stigma and negative service beliefs obstructed help seeking; positive prior care and literacy could help. Increasing demand must accompany real service availability.
Recorded limitations
Mostly low-to-medium quality heterogeneous evidence, including feasibility/protocol material; inconsistent definitions of help seeking. Original publication underlying the later Focus reprint.
Evidence and provenance
Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
