TL;DR: Wilson et al. as discussed by the authors investigated why young people do not seek help when they are in psychological distress or suicidal; how professional services can be made more accessible and attractive to young people; the factors that inhibit and facilitate help-seeking; and how community gatekeepers can support young people to access services to help with personal and emotional problems.

TL;DR: The professionals most likely to act as gatekeepers to mental health services for young people are school counsellors, general practitioners, and youth workers, and Internet‐based information and interventions are being used to engage young people in the help‐seeking process.

TL;DR: A set of clear, practical, evidence-based recommendations is presented for MHapp developers to create better, more rigorous apps, and it may not be possible to incorporate all 16 recommendations into a single MHapp.

TL;DR: The General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ) as discussed by the authors was developed to assess intentions to seek help from different sources and for different problems using a sample of 218 high school students, and appears to be a flexible measure of help-seeking intentions that can be applied to a range of contexts.

TL;DR: Predictors of the attitudinal measure of orientation toward help-seeking for emotional problems have been shown to include demographic, network, and personality variables but gender and willingness to disclose remained significant predictors.
