Summary

This study tests an online self-help platform called JCTH+ for university students in Hong Kong who have moderate to severe anxiety or depression. About 1,684 students will either use the platform plus usual services or just usual services. The goal is to see if the platform improves mental health and quality of life, and whether it is cost-effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
online self-help platform with cognitive behavioural therapy modules
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an affordable, scalable way to improve mental health for university students.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial but still early-stage. The platform may not work for everyone, and results may not apply outside Hong Kong.
