About

The overall aim of this project is to understand if single-session interventions are acceptable, culturally appropriate, and effective for Indian adolescents. The investigators will be examining the effects of three interventions on the well-being and mental health of adolescents. The investigators hypothesize that at least one of the three interventions will yield statistically significant improvements in wellbeing and mental health relative to a study skills control condition.
