What this trial studies
This study introduces the 'One All' curriculum, centered around the sport of Ultimate Frisbee, aimed at enhancing mental health resilience among young tribal adults in two locations in South India. The research will assess the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention, alongside training facilitators and engaging community stakeholders through focus groups and interviews.
