Mean (± 1 standard error) of hypothetical likelihood to seek help by informal, anonymous, and formal resources among men and women. Hypothetical likelihood to seek help was measured using a 4-point scale: 1 = very unlikely, 2 = somewhat unlikely, 3 = somewhat likely, 4 = very likely. Men and women reported almost identical likelihood to utilize formal and informal resources for help-seeking. However, there was a significant difference between men and women and likelihood to seek help via anonymous resources. Women rated themselves as more likely to seek help via these resources than did men.
