The goal of the current study was to evaluate the effects of the Social Emotional Learning program Skills 4 Life on mental health and its risk factors self-esteem, self-efficacy, and social interaction skills in students of secondary schools.
A cluster randomized controlled study was conducted, including 38 schools (66 classes; grades 7 to 9) for secondary education, with a 1 year and 20 months follow-up (teachers and students reports).
The intervention was effective in improving self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and teacher-reported psychological problem behavior, all after 20 months. Stratified analyses showed effects in mainly lower educational level students.
The Skills 4 Life curriculum is effective in improving the mental health and self-efficacy among adolescents, especially for adolescents from lower educational level, a group that is most prone to ill mental health.
本研究旨在评估社会情感学习计划“Skills 4 Life”对中学生心理健康及其风险因素（自尊、自我效能和社交技能）的影响。
这是一项采用群组随机对照试验设计的研究，共纳入 38 所中学（66 个班级；7-9 年级），随访时间为 1 年和 20 个月（教师和学生报告）。
干预 20 个月后，学生的自我效能、抑郁症状和教师报告的心理问题行为均得到改善。分层分析显示，这种效果主要出现在教育水平较低的学生中。
Skills 4 Life 课程可有效改善青少年的心理健康和自我效能，特别是对于那些来自教育水平较低的青少年，他们更容易出现心理健康问题。
