Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Help-seeking intentions<br><br>The adapted version of the General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ; Wilson et al, 2005) is the primary outcome measure in the current study and assesses intentions to seek help for personal or emotional problems from 11 different formal and informal sources (e.g., friend, parent, psychologist, teacher). Respondents indicate how likely they are to seek help from each of the sources on a scale ranging from 1 (extremely unlikely) to 7 (extremely likely).. This scale will detect any change in help-seeking intentions following the intervention.[Help seeking intentions will be assessed 1 week pre-intervention, 1 week post-intervention and 3 months post-intervention.]
