aOrdinal logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the data.
bFor the predictor in both analyses, the frequency of using Close Friends has 4 outcome levels in ascending order: never, seldom, sometimes, and often. The response of “never” was chosen as the reference category.
cModel 2 adjusted for gender and school banding.
dFor outcome 1: willingness of online help seeking, the response of “no” was chosen as the reference category.
eFor outcome 2: willingness of seeking help from peers and friends, the response of “no” was chosen as the reference category.
