Summary

This study tested a digital toolkit called mSELY that helps teens and parents screen for common mental health problems like anxiety, depression, and conduct issues. Over 560 families in Kenya used the app to learn about mental health and connect with resources. The goal was to see if the tool improves mental health knowledge and reduces symptoms.
