We employed a control condition in which participants would undergo the same intervention process with the same online format and time length while no mental help-seeking contents (focus on sleep hygiene, healthy diet, and exercise) in the intervention condition were involved. This study examined the efficacy of the digital online-based multicomponent help-seeking intervention targeting the LGBTQ+ population by comparing results of primary outcomes (i.e., help-seeking intention and attitude) and secondary outcomes (i.e., actual help-seeking behaviors, depression, anxiety literacy, help-seeking stigma, and help-seeking encouragement-related knowledge) from participants in the intervention condition against the control condition.
