The overall aim of this project is to understand if single-session interventions are acceptable, culturally appropriate, and effective for Indian adolescents attending a rural, low-resource government school. The investigators will be examining the effects of a computerized intervention on the well-being and mental health of adolescents. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will yield statistically significant improvements in wellbeing and mental health relative to a study skills control condition.
