Results

Regarding MIDUS, the post-test and 3-month follow-up test results showed a significant main effect of time by-group interactions in a linear mixed model. Regarding RIBS-J, the post-test results showed a significant main effect of time-by-group interactions; however, the 3-month follow-up test showed no significant effect. No significant effects of time-by-group interactions were seen in the post-test and 3-month follow-up test results for help-seeking behaviour in a logistic regression-mixed model.

Baseline Characteristics

The subjects consisted of 156 first-year students attending a public junior high school (aged 12 to 13 years; Grade 7; Year 8) in Tochigi, Japan. The choice of school was based on the availability of study cooperation and the feasibility of the intervention. Of these, 125 consented to participate in the study and were randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 51) or the control group (n = 74). The final number of participants included in the analysis was 116 (50 in the intervention group and 66 in the control group). There were 25 males and 25 females in the intervention group and 30 males and 36 females in the control group.

Participant flow

The subjects consisted of 156 first-year students attending a public junior high school (aged 12 to 13 years; Grade 7; Year 8) in Tochigi, Japan. The choice of school was based on the availability of study cooperation and the feasibility of the intervention. The exclusion criteria were those who could not read or write Japanese at a level equivalent to that of a Japanese primary school graduate. Participants in the study provided written consent from both the subjects themselves and their parent or guardian. Of these, 125 consented to participate in the study and were randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 51) or the control group (n = 74). After excluding those who were absent from the classes or did not complete the assessments, the final number of participants included in the analysis was 116 (50 in the intervention group and 66 in the control group).

Adverse events

None.

Outcome measures

There was a significant main effect of time and time-by-group interaction in the MIDUS post-test (B [95% CI] main effect of time = -8.40 [-10.07, -6.73], p<0.001, time x group interaction p = 7.36 [5.14, 9.57], <0.001) and the 3-month follow-up (B [95% CI] main effect of time = -6.14 [-7.81, -4.47], p<0.001, time x group interaction p = 4.19 [1.97, 6.41], <0.001).
There was a significant main effect of time and time-by-group interaction in the RIBS-J future post-test (B [95% CI] main effect of time = 2.20 [1.45, 2.96], p<0.001, time x group interaction p = -1.85 [-2.85, -0.85], <0.001). There was a no significant effect of time-by-group interaction the 3-month follow-up (B [95% CI] main effect of time = 1.84 [1.85, 2.60], p<0.001, time x group interaction p = -0.72 [-1.72, 0.28], p = 0.158).
There were no significant main effects of time or time-by-group interaction in either the post-test or the 3-month follow-up questionnaire results for help-seeking behaviour.
