The implications of the findings are discussed in relation to the salient beliefs about help-seeking. Preference for the TPB partial mediation model may be culturally relevant. However, symptom severity, prior help-seeking, and gender did not significantly directly predict help-seeking intention. The model also suggested that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control were all significant predictors of help-seeking intention. The TPB partial mediation model was better than the traditional TPB model in explaining help-seeking intention in Macao. In the main study, 337 Macao residents (age range 18–65) participated in a survey conducted in the community. The present study consisted of two phases: (a) a pilot study to develop belief-based measures used in the main study, and (b) a cross-sectional study to investigate the application of TPB in understanding help-seeking intention. It also aimed to understand factors related to intention to seek mental health services in Macao to inform local policies. This study tested the efficacy of Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB) in explaining intention to seek mental health services and compared the traditional TPB model with a TPB partial mediation model.
