Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The present study examined mental health help seeking among early adolescents. Drawing from past research (Andersen & Newman, 1973; Andersen, 1995; Srebnik, Cauce, & Baydar, 1996), help seeking was examined in the context of stages and factors. Help-seeking stages were: (1) problem recognition, (2) perceiving a need for professional help with problems, and (3) seeking professional help for problems. Factors believed to be related to help-seeking stages were predisposing factors (i.e., gender, age, prior professional help seeking), enabling/inhibiting factors (i.e., barriers to help seeking), and need factors (i.e., adolescent stress and psychological distress, parents’ perceptions of adolescent stress, psychological distress, and impact of adolescent problems). Both adolescents and parents were surveyed to examine help seeking and relations between parent and adolescent reports. Participants were 193 adolescents (60 males, 133 females) ranging in age from 11- to 15-years, and 110 parents. All participants completed measures assessing demographic variables, help-seeking behaviour, adolescent stress and psychological distress, and perceived barriers to help seeking. Parents also completed a measure assessing perceived impact of adolescent problems. Adolescent problem recognition was predicted by prior professional help seeking and psychological distress. Perceiving a need for professional help was predicted by prior professional help seeking, stress level, and the belief that nothing would help. Seeking professional help was predicted by perceived stigma. Parental problem recognition was predicted by greater impact of adolescent problems. Perceiving a need for professional help was predicted by prior professional help seeking and greater impact of adolescent problems. When considering adolescent- and parent-reported factors simultaneously in predicting adolescent help-seeking stages, adolescent-reported stress was the most robust predictor.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
