Factors Associated with Mental Health Utilization Among Minorities Following the Second Lebanon War in Israel

Abstract  

The purpose of the study was to examine the association between demographics, war-related factors, and psychosocial factors
with mental health utilization among minorities in Israel. One thousand and sixty-eight participants filled a battery of self
report questionnaires asking about demographics, psychosocial factors and war-related experience during the second Lebanon
war, along with measurements of psychiatric symptoms. Logistic regression analyses revealed that injury of a relative during
the war increased the probability to utilize mental health services (odds ratio, 3.854; 95% CI, 2.827–5.253). Our results
support the importance of psychological first-aid to family members with relatives who were injured during war.
