Summary

This study tested a special education program for high school students aged 15-17 aimed at reducing 'phubbing' (snubbing others by using a phone) and improving mental health literacy. 36 students with high phubbing and low mental health knowledge took part, with half receiving the program and half not. Researchers measured changes using scales before, after, and later to see if the program worked.
