Summary

This study tests a 6-month online program called HELP that helps teens aged 12-17 with emotional distress improve their lifestyle habits like physical activity, sleep, and screen time. Researchers will compare emotional health and healthcare use between teens who get the program right away and those who wait 6 months. The goal is to see if this virtual support can ease mental health symptoms and reduce the need for other mental health services.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Healthy Lifestyles Project e-intervention (HELP): a virtual lifestyle behaviour change support program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, scalable online tool to help teens manage emotional distress through better lifestyle habits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 130 participants, so results may not apply to all teens. The intervention is behavioural, so improvements may be modest or short-lived.
