THE PROBLEM Common mental health disorders affect as many as 26% of Australia’s youth.
Young men are less likely than young women to seek professional mental health support
Sleep disturbance is both a symptom of and potential risk factor for a range of mental illnesses [1]
Disruption of the sleep/wake cycle is shown to negatively affect mood [2]; cognitive functioning [3;4]; as well as health and wellbeing [4;6].
The primary aim of this project was to design a mobile phone app intervention improving wellbeing through the development of healthy sleep/wake practices in young males (aged 16-24 years).

THE APPROACH
• Cross-sector collaboration: Brain & Mind Research Institute; Inspire Foundation; Digital Agency and Young People
• Participatory Design Methodologies – iterative cycles of concept development and testing
• Evaluate engagement and effectiveness through feasibility and RCT studies

RESULTS: PART 1

Opportunities for passive data collection
Concept: Narrative Design vs Slick Design
Young People: Different ages use technology differently
Keep it specific
RESULTS: PART 2
• Workout Intervention findings
• Workshop and participatory design findings

Opportunities for Collaboration
Technical development of the app and RCT software
Innovative data collection Creative and design expertise
Lessons learned: Understand each others perspective Spend time clearly articulating objectives Ensure balanced input into decision
making process Do as much work “in house” as possible
