Brief report: Need for autonomy and other perceived barriers relating to adolescents’ intentions to seek professional mental health care
Abstract
The current study examined the relationship between belief‐based barriers to seeking professional mental health care and help‐seeking intentions in a sample of 1037 adolescents. From early adolescence to adulthood, for males and females, the need for autonomy was a strong barrier to seeking professional mental health care. Help‐seeking fears were weaker in the older age groups. Having lower perceived need for autonomy and believing that prior mental health care was helpful was significantly associated with higher intentions to seek future professional mental health care. Implications for prevention and overcoming barriers to seeking mental health care are suggested.

“When a young person could not locate a social support with these skills, the search for help often ended with a return to self-management (Medlow et al. 2010; Wilson and Deane 2012; Burlaka et al. 2014; Lynch et al. 2025b).”

“To avoid involvement in these systems and further re-traumatisation, young people with experiences of marginalisation, who did not have access to private routes, prioritised self-reliance in the longer-term (Medlow et al. 2010; Wilson and Deane 2012; Burlaka et al. 2014; Lynch et al. 2025a).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
