Summary

This trial tests a school-based program called SIM, where trained teachers lead group coaching sessions to help students build skills for better mental well-being. About 727 upper secondary students in Sweden are randomly assigned to either the SIM program or a single lecture on mental health. Researchers measure changes in well-being, stress, and mental health symptoms over nine months to see if the program makes a lasting difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Solution-focused coaching program delivered by trained teachers in school mentor groups
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give schools a low-cost, scalable way to improve teen mental well-being and reduce stress and anxiety.
What could go wrong
The trial is still in progress, and results may not show a clear benefit over a simple lecture. Effects may also vary across different schools and student groups.
