Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial with 8 schools (4 intervention and 4 wait-list control schools) including 160 caregivers (80 teachers and 80 parents), with the aim of pilot testing the implementation process, feasibility, acceptability, usage patterns, and efficacy of the mHealth Toolkit for Wellness & Empowering Lives of School Community (mWEL) in Uganda. The mWEL-App is a preventive intervention tool for teachers and parents as a self-help support modality. Caregivers who need support in navigating the toolkit will be supported by P-CHWs. The investigators hypothesize that: 1) relative to the control, caregivers receiving the mWEL will have better efficacy outcomes (mental health literacy, and mental health outcomes); and 2) mWEL implementation will have high acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in Universal Mental Health Literacy Scale Score The Universal Mental Health Literacy Scale comprises 35 items asking respondents to indicate their knowledge of various aspects regarding mental health. Items are rated on 4 or 5-point Likert scales. The total score is produced by summing all item scores and ranges from 35 to 160; higher scores indicate greater mental health literacy. Baseline, Month 5
Primary Change in Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) Score The K10 scale involves 10 questions about emotional states. Each item is scored from 1 'none of the time' to 5 'all of the time'. The total score is the sum of responses, with a minimum score of 10 and a maximum score of 50. Low scores indicate low levels of psychological distress and high scores indicate high levels of psychological distress. Baseline, Month 5
Primary Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression Score 8-item assessment of depressive symptoms over the past 7 days. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The raw score is the sum of responses with a range in score from 8 to 40 with higher scores indicating greater severity of depression. The raw score is transformed into a T-score, where values are interpreted as follows:
Less than 55 = None to slight depression 55.0-59.9 = Mild depression 60.0-69.9 = Moderate depression 70 and over = Severe depression
Baseline, Month 5
Primary Change in PROMIS Anxiety Score 7-item assessment of anxiety symptoms over the past 7 days. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The raw score is the sum of responses with a range in score from 7 to 35 with higher scores indicating greater severity of anxiety. The raw score is transformed into a T-score, where values are interpreted as follows:
Less than 55 = None to slight anxiety 55.0-59.9 = Mild anxiety 60.0-69.9 = Moderate anxiety 70 and over = Severe anxiety
Baseline, Month 5
