Declarations
:
: Formal consent from both students and at least one of their parents or legal guardians, collected after being provided sufficient information about the study, participation, implications and participant’s rights, will be required for enrollment in the study. Participation in the study will be both anonymous (using participant codes) and confidential, as only investigators will have access to individual data. At the end of the school year, participants (including students, parents, and school staff) will receive a feedback on the results of the study, in the form of a written summary and a meeting in a school facility. They will also be able to contact the investigators by email at any time during the study, if they have questions or requests. Prior to their participation, all the young people and parents who have been invited to take part, including those who will have not given their assent/consent to participate, will receive a list of safe and available resources they may want to call on. These resources (including websites, phone numbers, mobile apps, and institutions and services) can provide information, listening, advice, or help on various topics related to adolescence, adolescent mental health, or parenthood. One of the investigators will be present once a week in schools, so that students or staff members can seek help if they express specific needs related to mental health, obtain further appropriate resources (e.g., specific public services), and find out about places to turn to.The study design has received formal approval from the Institutional Review Board of the University of Nîmes, and the study will be conducted in accordance with institutional and national ethical standards and with the Declaration of Helsinki [CitationRef removed].
