A necessary precursor to help-seeking is disclosure, or the sharing of one's diagnosis or symptoms with others. This pilot study aims to explore mental health disclosure decision-making among medical students.DesignSemi-structured qualitative interviews.SettingStudents were interviewed virtually using Zoom.Participants20 students enrolled in nine American undergraduate medical education institutions (MD or DO).MethodInterviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Using Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) and iterative cycles of analysis with focused and theoretical coding, a preliminary framework was developed to represent mental health disclosure decision-making among medical students.ResultsThe proposed framework presents three factors that impact students' disclosure decisions: <i>Assessing Anticipated Outcomes</i>, <i>Evaluating Priorities</i>, and <i>Determining Appropriate Recipients</i>. The framework also identifies two moderating variables-<i>Disclosure Goals</i> and <i>Severity and Type of Symptom</i>s-that affect students' perspectives on outcomes and recipients.ConclusionThis pilot study highlights the complexity of student disclosure decision-making.
