There is an increasingly alarming worsening of mental health among the youth. There remain significant unmet needs for developing innovative, evidence-based technology-enhanced, positive psychology interventions (PPIs) all-inclusive in targeting psychological distress and risk factors related to high-risk behavior commonly encountered in adolescents.
We aim to assess the effectiveness of a hybrid (incorporating both synchronous and asynchronous learning) and holistic (targeting social and emotional learning and tackling risk factors unique for this age group) PPI, "success4life youth empowerment," in improving well-being in the youth.
Students' well-being will be assessed by the 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index, and hope will be assessed by the 6-item Children's Hope Scale at week 0, week 8, and week 10, month 6, and month 12. Any improvement in well-being and hope will be measured, estimating the difference in postintervention (week 8 and week 10) and preintervention (week 0) scores by determining the P value and effect size using appropriate statistical tests.
This study includes 2 phases: pilot phase 1, delivered by the creators of the succcess4life youth empowerment modules and platform, and phase 2, which will consist of the estimation of scalability through the recruitment of trainers. We hope to start student recruitment by 2022 and aim to complete the results for phase 1 pilot testing by 2023.
We anticipate that a primarily web-based, 10-week holistic PPI can support improvement in the mental wellness of the youth and has the potential for effective scalability.

青少年心理健康状况日益恶化，令人担忧。在开发创新的、基于证据的、技术增强的积极心理干预措施（PPI）以全面解决青少年常见的心理困扰和与高危行为相关的风险因素方面，仍存在重大未满足的需求。
我们旨在评估一种混合式（结合同步和异步学习）且全面的（针对社会情感学习并解决该年龄组独特风险因素）PPI“成功4生活青年赋权计划”对改善青少年幸福感的有效性。
将在第0周、第8周、第10周、第6个月和第12个月，通过5项世界卫生组织幸福指数评估学生的幸福感，并通过6项儿童希望量表评估希望感。将测量幸福感和希望感的任何改善情况，通过使用适当的统计测试确定P值和效应大小，估计干预后（第8周和第10周）与干预前（第0周）分数的差异。
本研究包括两个阶段：试点阶段1，由成功4生活青年赋权模块和平台的创建者实施；阶段2，将通过招募培训师来评估可扩展性。我们希望在2022年开始招募学生，并计划在2023年完成阶段1试点测试的结果。
我们预计，一个主要基于网络的、为期10周的全面PPI能够支持改善青少年的心理健康，并且具有有效扩展的潜力。
