Brief Summary

These unparalleled size, nature and complexity of youth mental health problems would leave a huge gap to fill after the Millennium, which would need stratified and timely interventions to improve the mental well-being and metal health of the youth in the general population. The use of music has been explored in improving the mental well-being and mental health in the young people. The progressively digitalized lifestyle of the youth as the digital natives is paralleled by frequent use of online music in their daily activities. This means that online music interventions can be a new, youth-friendly and accessible means to deliver interventions to the youth to improve their mental well-being and mental health. Therefore, it is worthwhile to further explore the potential as well as underlying mechanisms of online music in improving youth mental well-being and mental health in the community among young people as a population lifestyle strategy. In this study, the investigators would conduct a Randomized Control Study on Brief Online Music Intervention (BOMI) by listening to a selected, guided and self-chosen online song each day actively in a personalized and focused way in improving the mental well-being of young people in the community. In the end, the possible design and promotion of specific, guided and evidence-based self-help brief online music intervention by listening to music daily as a lifestyle change can be an economic, convenient and evidenced-based mental well-being intervention strategy among the youth at a population level. Aim: To study the effects of listening to an expert-selected, theory-guided and self-chosen online song each day actively in a personalized and focused way (Brief Online Music Intervention: BOMI) in improving mental well-being among young people in the community in Hong Kong Hypothesis: Listening to an expert-selected, theory-guided and self-chosen song each day actively in a personalized and focused way (Brief Online Music Intervention: BOMI) can improve mental well-being in the community among young people
