Mental Health Literacy and Academic Performance
Sponsor: University of Bucharest
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of an intervention designed to promote mental health literacy in adolescents. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether this intervention can have an impact on mental health 2. Whether this intervention can have an impact on fostering academic performance, particularly in disadvantaged students (i.e., academic resilience) 3. Whether this intervention will have differential effectiveness as a function of the delivery format (psychoeducational materials only versus blended) Participants will receive either an online, automated intervention consisting of psychoeducational materials delivered at predetermined intervals (automated), or the same but with the addition of synchronous or asynchronous psychoeducational sessions held by a licensed psychologist (i.e., blended). These two conditions will also be compared to a Waitlist, to test if the interventions perform better than no treatment.
