Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Hub User Group
This group receives community-based mental wellness youth hub services for young people to enhance personal strengths and overall mental well-being.
LevelMind@JC Mental Wellness Youth Hubs
Mental Wellness Youth Hubs Intervention aims to set up a series of community-based hubs for young people to enhance cognitive abilities, personal strengths and overall mental well-being. Among the experimental group participants (hub users), they are further divided into three tiers according to their psychological distress level. Tier 1 are youths with mild psychological distress level, who will be invited to participate in some innovative and interesting youth projects and activities (e.g., board game and floral artistry). Tier 2 are youths who have moderate level of psychological distress, or at risk for mental illness. Trained social workers will offer them with specific interventions (e.g., CBT, sleep intervention) according to their needs. Tier 3 are youths with severe level of psychological distress who are at risk for mental disorders. Diagnostic and medical assessment services will be delivered by psychiatrist or clinical psychologists.
Non-hub User Community Control Group
This group does not receive any youth services in the community.
No interventions assigned to this group
eClinic User Group
This group receives the eClinic service provided by New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association.
New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association electronic clinic for psychological service
The eClinic treatment spans eight to fourteen week and is designed for individuals with moderate to severe mental health issues. The service is provided in a hybrid format, incorporating an in-person initial screening using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and General Anxiety Disorder-7, followed by online self-learning resources and sessions with a therapist. Pre- and post-treatment assessments as well as follow-ups will be used to keep track of service users' progress.
ICCMW group
This group receives the eClinic service provided by Integrated Community Centre for Mental Wellness (ICCMW) step-up care.
Integrated Community Centres for Mental Wellness
Integrated Community Centres for Mental Wellness (ICCMWs) are the main community-based mental health services in Hong Kong. However, their reach among young people is limited, as their broad target age range primarily focuses on middle-aged individuals. ICCMW offers comprehensive, district-based community support and social rehabilitation services, from early prevention to risk management, for people in mental recovery, those with suspected mental health issues, their families and carers, and residents within the service area, all accessible through a single-entry point.
