Project description DEENESFRITPL Empowering adolescents to achieve better health Adolescents are an important population group to reach for the prevention of non-communicable diseases and mental health issues that are often associated with living in unstable urban environments. Individual therapy is inadequate to address this at a societal level. As such, the citiesRISE cross-national initiative is exploring innovative ways to improve the mental well-being of young adults through multi-faceted, youth-led interventions targeting internal, social and environmental factors. The EU-funded YiPEE project will evaluate the impact, feasibility, adaptability and cost-effectiveness of this intervention approach in India, Kenya, South Africa and Sweden, with the goal of creating a healthier future. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Most traditional youth mental health interventions fail to achieve sustainable impact at scale because they overly rely on individualized, medical illness-focused models and treat youth as passive beneficiaries. citiesRISE, a multi-stakeholder initiative founded in 2017 to address these gaps, has worked with youth, communities, and professionals across five cities, as well as social innovators in over twenty countries, to develop a set of evidence-based, scalable youth mental health interventions and implementation models. The YiPEE project aims to provide robust evidence on the feasibility, adaptability, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of a multi-component intervention targeting the inner, social, and environmental dimensions that underpin mental health and broader NCD risk reduction outcomes, when implemented using a youth-informed and -activated approach. This will be achieved through a a mixed-methods approach, conducting a realist evaluation across the four sites (Chennai, India; Nairobi, Kenya; Cape Town, South Africa; Stockholm, Sweden) to study key implementation outcomes following the Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) as well as the mechanisms underlying why the intervention works, for whom, and under what real-world conditions. In Chennai, YiPEE will conduct a randomized controlled trial for more robust evaluation of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in achieving key mental health and other NCD related lifestyle behavioral outcomes.YiPEE focuses on the combination of a school-based multicomponent intervention targeting positive disruption in the inner, social, and environmental dimensions of adolescents’ mental health and a youth-informed and -activated implementation model that puts young people at the centre of transformation, working collaboratively with a range of other stakeholders.
