Abstract in brief

  • The study explores what prevents and encourages young elite athletes aged 16-23 from seeking help for mental health issues, finding that stigma is the main barrier, along with low mental health literacy and negative past experiences.
  • Facilitators that encourage help-seeking include support from others, good relationships with healthcare providers, positive past interactions, coach support, and easy access to information online.
  • To improve mental health help-seeking among these athletes, strategies should aim to reduce stigma, boost understanding of mental health, and build better relationships with healthcare providers.]
