What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention designed to enhance mental health literacy among adolescents. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: an automated online intervention, a blended intervention that includes live sessions with a psychologist, or a waitlist control group. The study will assess the impact of these interventions on mental health outcomes and academic performance over three time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up. The trial will involve approximately 264 high school students, focusing on various mental health issues and academic resilience.

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are high school students aged 14 to 18.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 14 or older than 18 will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve mental health literacy and academic performance among adolescents, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results in improving mental health literacy and academic outcomes through similar interventions, suggesting a potential for success in this approach.
