The goal of this experience sampling method study is to understand the effectiveness and user experience of the 'let's talk' forum-- a public platform designed by the Ministry of Health Office for Healthcare Transformation (MOHT) to provide just-in-time digital mental health support for youths. 'Let's Talk' is a joint initiative by MOHT, Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), National Council of Social Service (NCSS), and the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) in Singapore. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria (based on DASS-21 cutoff scores) will be invited to participate in Phase 2, which involves a 21-day intervention period involving the 'let's talk' forum. The experience sampling protocol involves sending prompts at regular intervals and monitoring anxiety levels.
