%X <b>Objectives:</b> 1) Compare service utilization among LGB+ and straight-identified students. 2) Assess rates of mental health concerns among LGB+ students only. <b>Participants:</b> Undergraduates (<i>N</i> = 675) reported on their sexual orientation, mental health conditions, and past service providers. <b>Methods:</b> Logistic regression was used for aim 1 and descriptive statistics for aim 2. <b>Results:</b> LGB+ students were more likely than straight-identified students to seek services for anxiety (odds ratio [OR] = 2.051; <i>p</i> <.01) or depression (OR = 3.058; <i>p</i> <.001) and from a counselor/therapist/psychologist (OR = 2.937; <i>p</i> <.001) or their university's counseling/health services (OR = 1.933; <i>p</i> <.01). Bisexual students utilized the most services. <b>Conclusions:</b> Colleges must ensure that programing, outreach, and overall support for the mental health needs of their LGB+ students are being met so that this vulnerable population continues to seek services.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
