简要总结
With increasing digital use, especially in North India, there is a paucity of literature on pathways and connections between social media use and attributable family relationships, alcohol use, and sexual health issues. A novel social marketing intervention is planned to effectively address the aforementioned adolescent health issues early on and build a mutually beneficial interface between parents, school-going adolescents, school authorities, and health professionals. The study aims to explore the impact of social media use on alcohol consumption, sexual health, and adverse child-family relationships among adolescents. Additionally, it proposes the development, implementation, and economic evaluation of Social Marketing Intervention to address these issues and promote adolescent well-being in the digital age. A cluster randomized controlled trial is planned on school-going adolescents (aged 14-17 years) covering 12 schools across Tricity of Chandigarh, Panchkula (Haryana) and Mohali (Punjab). Formative research shall be conducted to design a novel Social-Marketing intervention to dynamically influence behaviour change among adolescents wherein parents and teachers shall also play as key stakeholders in facilitating the intended behaviour change. Intervention shall be given on monthly basis for 3 months with monthly follow-up for three months. Generalized-Estimating-Equations modelling shall be undertaken to assess the study outcomes at different periods. Hybrid economic simulation (Decision Tree and Markov model) is proposed to be used for cost-effectiveness analysis. Cost-effective analysis can provide some insight for policy-makers to plan for introducing the intervention on a larger scale in the Indian context.
