| Popis: | Chaplains have a critical role in the military organization and health care. Using the 2015 Health-Related Behavior Survey, we compared Service Members' (SM) use of chaplaincy services to their use of other behavioral health (BH) services: 26.2% used any BH service and 8.0% met with a chaplain/clergyperson for BH. Among the 36.5% of SM who self-identified needing counseling, percentages of SMs receiving counseling were lower among those perceiving stigma associated with BH services (51.0%) than those not perceiving stigma (66.7%). Of SM who sought counseling: many used multiple counseling sources (48.0%), with the most common sources being a BH professional (71.6%), a medical doctor (37.5%), and a chaplain or clergyperson (30.2%). SM who met with a chaplain or clergyperson had more severe histories of abuse, were more likely to have a mental health diagnosis, and had fewer positive health behaviors than SM who sought other sources of counseling. |
