Abstract

Background

Mental health conditions are a significant burden during adolescence, with up to 50 % starting before age 14. Suicide is among the top three causes of death in this age group, highlighting the need for effective mental health interventions.

Objective

The primary objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of school-based Scaling up Teen Mental Health Program through peer synergy (SUTMP) on mental health literacy among senior secondary students.

Methods

A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted among the students of government senior secondary schools. The intervention comprises five modules focusing on mental health literacy, mental health promotion, peer synergy on first aid in mental health, strengthening resilience, and the fifth module focuses on relaxation exercises, meditation and deep breathing techniques, and mindfulness with 'Teen mental health app.' Students will be assessed using the Resilience Scale, Mental Health Promotion Knowledge Scale, Peer Mental Health Stigmatization Scale, Teen Mental Health Literacy Scale, and Peer Synergy on Mental Health First Aid Scale. Assessment will be done before the intervention, one week after, at three and six months post-intervention.

Expected results

The anticipated outcome of the study is that the school-based Scaling up Teen Mental Health Program (SUTMP) will increase mental health literacy among school students, strengthen their resilience skills, and increase the use of a peer-led approach for providing initial mental health first aid.

Conclusion

The study will employ an innovative module for delivering the intervention, integrating on-site and app-based approaches in a blended manner.

通过同伴协同作用（SUTMP）在印度锡金高中生中促进心理健康、提高心理健康素养和恢复力的以学校为基础的扩大青少年心理健康项目的有效性——一项集群随机对照试验方案

心理健康状况是青春期的一个重大负担，高达50%的人在14岁之前就开始出现心理健康状况。自杀是这一年龄组的三大死亡原因之一，这突出表明需要采取有效的精神卫生干预措施。目的研究校本同伴协同青少年心理健康扩展计划（SUTMP）对高中生心理健康素养的影响。方法采用整群随机对照试验方法，对公办高中学生进行调查。干预包括五个模块，重点是心理健康素养、心理健康促进、同伴协同心理健康急救、增强弹性，第五个模块重点是放松练习、冥想和深呼吸技巧，以及“青少年心理健康应用程序”的正念。学生将使用弹性量表、心理健康促进知识量表、同伴心理健康歧视量表、青少年心理健康素养量表、心理健康急救量表的同伴协同作用。评估将在干预前、干预后一周、干预后三个月和六个月进行。预期结果本研究的预期结果是，以学校为基础的扩大青少年心理健康计划（SUTMP）将提高在校学生的心理健康素养，增强他们的适应能力，并增加同龄人主导的方法在提供初步心理健康急救方面的使用。本研究将采用一个创新的模块来提供干预，以混合的方式整合现场和基于应用程序的方法。
