Abstract
LAY SUMMARY Military spouses are exposed to unique stressors that could put them at greater risk for developing mental health issues. Understanding how to support them is important for military family well-being and service member retention. This study examines barriers to care that army spouses with at least mild mental health symptoms experienced and explores whether these barriers prevented them from seeking mental health treatment. Findings suggest military spouses experience a variety of barriers. Spouses experiencing mental health symptoms may struggle to get care if they have at least one child, are employed full- or part-time, or report greater stigma toward mental health care. Additional research is needed to better understand the complexity of barriers and how these barriers contribute to care over time.
