Summary
This study looked at whether a digital forum called 'Let's Talk' helps young adults in Singapore feel less anxious and more willing to seek mental health support. Over 21 days, 104 participants used the forum, which lets them ask therapists questions anonymously. Researchers tracked changes in anxiety, stress, and attitudes toward help-seeking. The goal was to see if online peer support and professional advice can improve emotional well-being in real time.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that anonymous online forums with professional input help young people manage anxiety and seek help earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study without a control group, so results may not apply broadly. It measures short-term changes, not long-term outcomes.
