College campuses can play a pivotal role in promoting mental health awareness and reducing stigma among college students. This study examines the effect of Latina/o and White students' mental health on their perceived self stigma and public stigma and the moderating role of college and university campuses' support toward perceived stigma. Survey responses of 51,821 Latina/o and White college students were examined. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted between anxiety/depressive symptoms, supportive campuses, and students' perceived self/public stigma. Findings reveal that Latina/o students have statistically significantly lower perceived self/public stigma and higher anxiety/depressive symptoms than White students. Regression results show that campus support moderates the association between anxiety/depressive symptoms on perceived self stigma for White but not Latina/o students. Campuses need to identify ways to provide Latina/o students with more mental health awareness and support.
