Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage where mental health and sex knowledge–attitude are essential for overall well-being. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an intervention in improving mental health among adolescents and to explore the association of demographic variables with mental health outcomes. An experimental design was adopted with a sample of 60 adolescents, equally divided into intervention and control groups. Standardized tools were used for data collection, and appropriate statistical analyses were applied. The results revealed that gender and family type were significantly associated with mental health, with males and adolescents from nuclear families showing better outcomes, while parental education and sibling position were not significant. Furthermore, the intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in mental health compared to the control group, which showed no meaningful change. The findings suggest that structured interventions are effective in enhancing adolescent mental health and emphasize the need to consider demographic factors while designing mental health programs.
