Summary

This study tests whether a free Danish website called Mindhelper can improve mental well-being in 15- to 25-year-olds. Nearly 5,000 participants were recruited via social media and randomly assigned to either get access to the website or not. Researchers measure well-being, psychological functioning, and body appreciation over 12 weeks to see if the site makes a difference.
