Abstrakt: Trauma-exposed Latinx adults experience mental-health treatment disparities. Study aims examine the multilayered recovery needs of this population through assessing domains of functioning on mental health treatment attitudes. Secondary data analysis of patient-level data (N = 336) examined direct effects of functioning and quality of life (QOL) on treatment attitudes using hierarchical linear regression. Findings revealed occupational-disability (t = 3.12, p =.012, β = 0.208) and QOL-environmental domain (t = 2.54, p =.002, β = 0.174) were positively associated with treatment attitudes. Concurrent support that promotes community connections and resource knowledge can mitigate attitudinal barriers to care to maximize positive treatment outcomes for trauma-exposed Latinx adults.
