Abstract: Although there are effective treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), many PTSD
sufferers wait years to decades before seeking professional help, if they seek it at all. An understanding of
factors affecting treatment initiation for PTSD can inform strategies to promote help-seeking. We conducted a
qualitative study to identify determinants of PTSD treatment initiation among 44 U.S. military veterans from the
Vietnam and Afghanistan/Iraq wars; half were and half were not receiving treatment. Participants described
barriers to and facilitators of treatment initiation within themselves, the post-trauma socio-cultural environment,
the health care and disability systems, and their social networks. Lack of knowledge about PTSD was a barrier
that occurred at both the societal and individual levels
