Summary

This study tests an 11-week support program for high school students aged 14-18. The program includes weekly activities to reduce distress, improve peer relationships, and meet basic psychological needs. Researchers will compare changes in stress and social well-being between a group that receives the program and a control group. A total of 60 students from Istanbul schools 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
Psychoeducational-Developmental Support Program
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could offer schools a simple, non-drug way to help teens feel less stressed and build better friendships.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all teens. The program is behavioral, so effects depend on consistent participation.
