Summary

This study tests whether using a life history calendar—a simple grid that helps people recall important life events—can improve the accuracy of mental health surveys. Researchers in Hong Kong will ask 2,500 adults about their mental health using either a standard interview or one assisted by the calendar. The goal is to see if the calendar helps people remember past episodes of depression, anxiety, and other conditions more reliably.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more accurate ways to measure lifetime mental health experiences in large surveys, improving research and understanding.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on measurement, not treatment. The calendar may not improve recall for everyone, and results may not apply outside Hong Kong.
