Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Help-seeking.<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). <br><br>[ Post-intervention questionnaires containing the primary outcome variable will be administered at the conclusion of the 3-month intervention period (at program completion).]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Suicidality.<br><br>Suicidality will be measured by a number of questionnaires. <br><br>The Youth Risk Behaviour Survey (cdc.gov) investigates suicidal ideation, plans and attempts over 4 questions (Yes/No). Suicidal ideation will be further investigated using the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS; Van Spijker et al, 2014), which contains 5 questions rated on 10-point scales assessing various levels of severity of suicidal ideation.<br><br><br>[ Post-intervention questionnaires containing secondary outcome variables will be administered at the conclusion of the 3-month intervention period (at program completion).]
