Summary

This trial tests a 10-week online program called Who Are You (WAY) designed to help adolescents better understand and manage their emotions, stay motivated, cope with stress, and set goals. About 120 middle and high school students are randomly assigned to either the program or a waitlist that continues usual schooling. Before and after the program, participants complete questionnaires measuring self-regulation, emotional intelligence, academic motivation, and stress, along with an academic achievement test. The study asks whether teens in the WAY program show greater improvements in these areas than those who did not participate.

Active substance
Who Are You (WAY) Social and Emotional Learning Program
What this could lead to
If effective, this digital program could offer schools a scalable way to improve teens' emotional skills, motivation, and academic performance.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and measures self-reported changes, which may not translate to lasting real-world benefits. Results depend on participants' engagement and may not generalize beyond the studied group.
