A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

A school-based intervention will be delivered to secondary school students in Hong Kong, with participating classes or schools receiving the youth-for-youth mental wellness program while control groups receive no additional treatment. The program targets flourishing, quality of life, depression, suicidal ideation, mental health literacy, help-seeking intention, and school climate through a mix of peer-led activities and school-wide initiatives. Outcome measures include psychological processes (mattering, emotion regulation, empowerment), social factors (trust, sense of community), stigma, and cost-effectiveness metrics such as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability will be examined from the perspectives of students, student leaders, and key stakeholders.
