Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate a universal school-based multi-component intervention whose target is to build well-being and emotional resilience in adolescents.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Adolescence is an important developmental phase for prevention and intervention initiatives for well-being and mental health. Accordingly, school has been recommended as an optimal location for such initiatives. Universal programmes - programmes that are designated for all individuals in a population - have a number of advantages, including reducing the risk of stigma and yielding high recruitment rates.

A Lust for Life is a universal school-based multi-component intervention whose target is to build well-being and emotional resilience in adolescents. The programme was informed by evidence-based psychological approaches including cognitive behaviour therapy, positive psychology and mindfulness and consists of six lessons, each delivered by the adolescents' school teacher on a weekly basis. The lessons involve classroom discussions, videos, classroom activities and homework assignments.

Study participants will complete the Adolescent Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10, Emotional Literacy and Intervention Inventory-Pupil Checklist, and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale for Children at pre-intervention. Following this, schools randomly assigned to the experimental group will receive A Lust for Life, while those randomly assigned to the control group will be placed on a twelve-week waiting list. The questionnaire measures and a Brief Satisfaction Scale will be completed by participants at post-intervention. In addition, a six-week follow-up assessment will determine whether the effects of the programme are sustained over a period of time. The programme will be delivered in the waiting list control group schools after the six-week follow-up assessment.
