This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a personalized mobile mental health toolkit (called mWEL) designed to support the mental health and well-being of teachers and parents in Uganda. The toolkit uses a smartphone app paired with support from trained community health workers to help people reduce anxiety and depression while learning more about mental health. The study will run in two phases: a smaller pilot phase to test whether the program works and is easy to use, followed by a larger phase to confirm the results.
Teachers and parents in Uganda often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, but they may not have access to mental health support or education. This trial aims to test whether offering a personalized, mobile-based mental health program can reach and help more people manage their mental health in a way that fits into their daily lives.

If you are randomly selected for the intervention group, you will use the mental health app on your phone and may participate in group sessions or one-on-one support with trained community health workers over several months. If you are in the control group, you will receive general health information instead. All participants will complete surveys about their mental health and what they've learned at the beginning, middle, and end of the study. The pilot phase involves 160 people (80 teachers and 80 parents) from 8 schools over about 9 months, while the larger phase involves 1,000 people (500 teachers and 500 parents) from 24 schools over about 3 years.
