Description
Introduction: Mental health problems among adolescents remain a global public health concern, highlighting the need
for accessible and innovative educational interventions. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a web-based mental
health education model through the Genziheal platform in improving knowledge levels and reducing symptoms of
mental health disorders among adolescent students.
Methods: A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest control group design was employed involving 130 senior high school
students (intervention group: n=80; control group: n=50). Data were collected using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire-
29 (SRQ-29) and a validated mental health knowledge questionnaire. Paired t-test and Mann-Whitney tests were used
for analysis.
Results: The intervention group demonstrated a significant increase in mental health knowledge (mean score improved
from 11.0 ± 2.8 to 12.2 ± 3.2; p = 0.008), while no significant change was observed in the control group. However, no
significant differences were found in mental health symptoms between pre- and post-test stages in both groups (p >
0.05).
Conclusions: The Genziheal platform effectively enhanced students’ mental health literacy but did not significantly
reduce symptoms of mental health disorders. These findings suggest that web-based educational tools can support
mental health awareness among adolescents but should be complemented with parental involvement and professional
support to address psychological symptoms. This study also highlights the potential integration of digital mental health
interventions into school-based health promotion programs. The findings contribute to the development of scalable,
culturally contextualized digital health promotion tools, particularly in resource-constrained settings such as Indonesia.
