	Females	Males	Other (includes non-binary/third gender and those preferring to self-describe)	Significance	Pairwise comparisons
Answered help-seeking intention question	14,171 (4.7%)	1038 (4.8%)	935 (8.3%)	χ²(2, N=337,097)=318.15, p<.001	Other>females, males
Endorsed they would definitely or probably seek help	4807 (33.9%)	321 (30.9%)	345 (36.9%)	χ²(2, N=16,144)=7.85, p=.020	Females>males; Other>males
	Age 17 or younger	Age 18–34	Age 35 or older	Significance	Pairwise comparisons
Answered help-seeking intention question	7379 (6.0%)	6770 (3.8%)	2247 (5.5%)	χ²(2, N=342,878)=830.11, p<.001	Age 17 or younger>age 18–34, age 35 or older; Age 35 or older>age 18–34
Endorsed they would definitely or probably seek help	1751 (23.7%)	2604 (38.5%)	1177 (52.4%)	χ²(2, N=16,396)=747.59, p<.001	Age 18–34>age 17 or younger; Age 35 or older>age 17 or younger, age 18–34

Note. Percentages represent proportion of that group (e.g., females) that either answered the help-seeking intention question or endorsed they would definitely or probably seek help. Pairwise comparisons listed were significant at least at p<.05.
