Abstract

Aims: This research was intend to examine the effect of Happy House Program on coping self-efficacy in adolescents. Methods: A school-based, two-arm parallel controlled trial was conducted in Hanoi, Vietnam including students from eight schools. The control group received the usual curriculum. The intervention group received six weekly 90-minute group sessions of Happy House. Coping self-efficacy were measured using the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale –Vietnamese version (CSE-V). Data were collected at recruitment, and at two weeks and six months post-intervention. Mixed-effect models were conducted to estimate the effects of the intervention on the outcomes at an individual level following intention-to-treat principles (1083 students: 552 in Control group and 531 in Intervention group). Results: Coping self-efficacy mean scores were significantly higher in the intervention group at both post-intervention (adjusted difference 9,23; CI 3,58;14,87) and six-month follow-up (adjusted difference 8,50; CI 2,49;14,52). Conclusion: Data strongly support that Happy House has great potential to be integrated into the existing school curriculum to promote mental health of adolescents in Vietnam.
