Coping with peer suicidality, help‐seeking intentions, and suicidal attitudes among Asian adolescents: a mixed‐methods study in Hong Kong
Our findings highlight variability in adolescents' responses to peer suicidality and help-seeking intentions, underscoring the need for attitude-tailored courses and more systematic, action-based gatekeeper training. Recommendations are provided to enhance the effectiveness of mental health first aid programs through public education, school interventions, and media campaigns.
