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.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
