Description

Yatirajula and co-authors lay out in 2025 a trial of life skills training for older teens in India's urban slums. One hundred five slums in Delhi and Hyderabad will host the study, with teens aged fifteen to nineteen. Skills arrive either in person or through social media, against a comparison arm.

The hope is better wellbeing and fewer depression signs, plus cuts in smoking, drinking, inactivity, and poor diet. Cluster assignment by slum keeps the arms apart. How well the program runs in real conditions is part of the question. The protocol stresses blinded checks across all three arms.
