Abstract

This study aimed to identify predictors of treatment seeking in military members with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using data from the 2002 Canadian Community Health Survey–Canadian Forces Supplement (Statistics Canada, 2003). To identify predictors, two complementary analyses (binary logistic regression and recursive partitioning of independent variables) were conducted in military members with PTSD (N = 509). Results indicate that trauma‐related (index traumatic event type, cumulative trauma exposure), demographic (marital status), enabling (income), and need (PTSD interference) factors predict treatment seeking in military members with PTSD, and that treatment seekers and nontreatment seekers are both comprised of distinct subgroups. Interventions aimed at increasing treatment‐seeking behaviors should be tailored to the specific needs of various subgroups of nontreatment seekers.
