Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention school
One school workshop and a small talk were conducted first at the beginning of the programme, which was to promote SME and introduce the function of SME App for students, followed by downloading and using immediately to connect family members, then let them continue to use for one month with system reminder.
SME App
The features in the App could be used in the future by linking with some platforms / existing services so that more SME messages can be sent to the students for sharing. One school workshop will be held to promote SME and introduce the function of SME App for students to download and use immediately to connect family members.
SME App promotes SME via:
* Express gratitude to family members (sharing)
* Deliver positive messages regularly (mind)
* Record physical and other joyful activities (enjoyment)
* Increase knowledge and understanding of adolescent mental health problem (in particular the anxiety disorders)
