This study aims to co-create, implement, and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a Wellness4Students supportive email/WhatsApp messaging program to mitigate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression and to promote well-being among university students in Uganda.
Specific Aims
Aim 1: To co-create and adapt the Wellness4Students intervention for SAD and mental well-being for university students in Uganda. We will co-create the Wellness4Students (W4S) program and then adapt it for students at Makerere University [27, 28, 36].
Aim 2: To determine the prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression among university students in Uganda. We will use a self-administered online baseline survey to measure these outcomes. The primary outcomes will be Stress, Anxiety, and Depression (SAD) and well-being. This will be measured using the Psychological Stress Scale (PSS-10), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the WHO Wellbeing Scale [14, 37-40]. We will estimate the prevalence of each of these outcomes separately. to assess the impact of the program on stress, anxiety and depression?

We will assess the daily consistency in program participation (i.e. ability to read daily messages), completion rates (Lost to follow-up), the improvement in mean scores of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression at 3 months, and 6 months [14, 27, 37-40]. End-line survey perceptions and feedback about the program at 6 months will be evaluated. At the end of the intervention and follow up survey, we will conduct a satisfaction survey, as indicated in the last section of the survey questionnaire.
Aim 4: To investigate the association between demographic factors and Stress, Anxiety, and Depression among University students in Uganda.
