Singapore Youth Mental Health (SYMe)
Promoting well-being among adolescents is crucial for building resilient, productive, and fulfilled future generations. Public messages in general focus on reducing the stigma of mental health problems. However it leaves a critical gap in addressing the positive dimensions of mental health. The primary objective of this research study is to find out the youth’s perception and understanding of mental health. It is important to find out their interpretation of what it means to be mentally healthy.
What does A*STAR IHDP hope to do?
We are aiming to grasp a deeper understanding of adolescents’ perceptions of mental health among their peers. There are questions pertaining to their own experiences and feelings, as well as their perspective on how they believe most teenagers would respond.
How can the youth help?
We are recruiting youths who are:
- Aged 13 to 19 years old
- Currently residing in Singapore
What does the study involve?
The study consists of four timepoints, and each survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. With Timepoint 2 available one week after completing Timepoint 1, Timepoint 3 available three months after completing Timepoint 2, and Timepoint 4 available one week after completing Timepoint 3.
Reimbusements will be given for the time and effort taken to complete each survey.
