Effectiveness of Integrated Network for Student Psychosocial Intervention, Resilience, and Education (INSPIRE) on Mental Health Outcomes Among Indonesian Adolescents in Bandung

The INSPIRE (Integrated Network for Student Psychosocial Intervention, Resilience, and Education) intervention is an 8-week, school-based mental health program designed to enhance adolescents' mental health literacy and resilience while addressing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Implementation is conducted by school counselors who undergo an intensive two-day training program. The intervention is supported by comprehensive curriculum materials including detailed lesson plans, activities, discussion prompts, and instructional slides featuring key concepts, visuals, and explanatory content. Supplementary materials are developed for both participating adolescents and their parents. The study aims to: 1. Evaluate the usability and feasibility of the INSPIRE intervention within the school environment. 2. Assess the intervention's effectiveness in improving: * Primary outcome: Mental health knowledge among adolescents * Secondary outcomes: Attitudes toward mental health, help-seeking behaviors, mental health literacy, resilience, and symptoms of depression and anxiety among adolescents * Secondary outcomes: mental health knowledge, attitudes, help-seeking behaviors, and mental health literacy among parents 3. Explore the experiences of intervention participants (both adolescents and parents) against the control group to develop comprehensive insights into the psychosocial intervention's impact. The research hypothesis proposes that the INSPIRE intervention group will demonstrate significantly higher scores in mental health knowledge, more positive attitudes toward mental health, increased help-seeking behaviors, enhanced mental health literacy, and greater resilience, while simultaneously showing reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety compared to the control group receiving standard care. These outcomes will be measured immediately following the intervention (post-test 1) and at one-month follow-up (post-test 2).
