The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) has been proposed as suitable to study help-seeking intentions. This paper aims to develop the IH-RHAC scale (Help-seeking intention in young adults with hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption) with the TPB. The objectives of the study were: (a) to analyze the structure, reliability, and validity of the instrument, (b) to identify whether attitude, subjective norm, self-efficacy, and past help-seeking would predict help-seeking intention, and (c) to assess concurrent validity.
From a total of 2,011 students who responded to the surveys, the sample was made up of 263 university students aged 18 to 29 with hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption practices, who responded to an online questionnaire including the AUDIT, IH-RHAC, and a scale of barriers and resources for alcohol consumption. Partial least squares structural equations (PLS-SEM) were used to test the hypotheses about reliability, validity of the scales, and prediction of the constructs: attitude, subjective norms, self-efficacy, and help-seeking in the past about intention. Pearson's correlations were used to obtain evidence of concurrent validity.
The results displayed favorable psychometric characteristics. The internal measurement model showed that attitude, self-efficacy, and prior help-seeking predicted a 27% help-seeking variance. Subjective norm did not predict intention.
It has been concluded that this is an instrument with psychometric support that can contribute to designing and/or evaluating interventions that promote the students' search for help.
计划行为理论（TPB）已被认为适用于研究求助意向。本文旨在运用TPB开发IH-RHAC量表（有危险和有害饮酒行为的年轻人的求助意向量表）。本研究的目的是：（a）分析该工具的结构、信度和效度；（b）确定态度、主观规范、自我效能感和过去的求助经历是否能预测求助意向；（c）评估同时效度。
在总共2011名回复调查问卷的学生中，样本由263名年龄在18至29岁之间、有危险和有害饮酒行为的大学生组成，他们回复了一份在线问卷，问卷包括酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）、IH-RHAC量表以及一份饮酒障碍和资源量表。偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）用于检验关于量表的信度、效度以及态度、主观规范、自我效能感和过去求助行为对求助意向预测的假设。使用皮尔逊相关性来获取同时效度的证据。
结果显示出良好的心理测量学特征。内部测量模型表明，态度、自我效能感和过去的求助行为可预测27%的求助行为方差。主观规范不能预测求助意向。
得出的结论是，这是一个有心理测量学支持的工具，可有助于设计和/或评估促进学生寻求帮助的干预措施。
