First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a two-level train-the-trainer model to scale up a mental health program for teachers in Ugandan schools. The program, called mWEL-PD, trains teachers to support their own wellbeing and that of their students. Researchers will compare this new model with and without extra support strategies to see which works best. Over 1,500 participants, including teacher trainers and school staff, will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mental health evidence-based interventions (EBIs) delivered through teacher training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a scalable model to improve mental health support for millions of students in low-resource settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug or therapy. Results may not generalize beyond Uganda, and the impact on student mental health is measured indirectly through teacher outcomes.
