Abstract	OBJECTIVE: The relationship between perceived barriers and prospective use of mental health care among veterans was examined. METHODS: The sample included Iraq and Afghanistan veterans (N=305) who endorsed symptoms of depression or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or alcohol misuse at intake to a postdeployment clinic between May 2005 and August 2009. Data on receipt of adequate treatment (nine or more mental health visits in the year after intake) were obtained from a VA database. RESULTS: Adequate treatment was more likely for women (odds ratio [OR]=4.82, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.37-16.99, p=.014) and for those with more severe symptoms of PTSD (OR=1.03, CI=1.01-1.05, p=.003) and depression (OR=1.06, CI=1.01-1.11, p=.01). Perceived barriers were not associated with adequate treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Male veterans with mental health problems should be targeted with outreach to reduce unmet need. Research is needed to identify perceived barriers to treatment among veterans.
