Sponsor's own description
Each year, one in five adolescents experiences a mental disorder like depression or anxiety, and the rate is rising. Depression is a common mental disorder, one of the leading global causes of Disability Adjusted Life Years among adolescents, and can lead to learning, behavioural and social impairment, as well as comorbid cardiovascular disease and mental illness in adulthood. An intervention is needed that can protect adolescents from mental disorders, is accessible to all adolescents, and is cheap and easy to sustain. One such intervention is mental health promotion, which focuses on improving positive behaviors and characteristics that protect mental health. There is already a strong evidence base for treatment and indicated prevention approaches, but a lack of research on mental health promotion interventions. In low resourced settings like Nepal, interventions need to be short of duration, and be carried out by lay people in the communities to make them sustainable and feasible to implement on a broader scale. The aim of this study is to develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention that uses sports groups to engage and improve the mental health of adolescents in Nepal.
