The intervention consists of the implementation of the Harmonised app in each participating secondary school. An app implementation plan is being developed jointly with each school following a stakeholder focus group. A one-off single-period (40-50 minutes) implementation delivery occurs within individual classrooms or during school assembly. Participating schools may elect for app implementation sessions to be school-led or researcher-led. A hard-copy training resource designed specifically for the study supports implementation and includes instructions regarding app navigation and function. Researcher-led training includes demonstrations of app functions. Students are led through the process of registration, creation of user profiles, and creation of posts. Strategies to support app adoption include the use of posters and school newsletters. The intended frequency and duration of use of the app beyond the initial guided implementation is at the students’ discretion. The tailored nature of the implementation limits the evaluation of fidelity.
