What this trial studies
The Y-PRIME initiative aims to address the lack of mental health support for youth in Vietnam by co-designing a mobile app that delivers life skills and self-management interventions. This app is tailored specifically for grade 10 students and is developed in collaboration with the Vietnam Youth Advisory Council to ensure cultural relevance. The study will assess the app's effectiveness in improving mental well-being and resilience while reducing stress-related factors among participants across three provinces. By leveraging digital health approaches, the study seeks to provide accessible mental health resources to a population with limited support.
