Other related information

In this study, a self-administered online questionnaire survey will be conducted with participants recruited through a Japanese survey company: 2000 students aged 18-29, 1000 non-students in the same age range, and 2000 employed individuals aged 30-64. The survey items comprise primary outcome measures (wellbeing-related indicators), secondary outcome measures (mental health and related domains), and basic demographic characteristics.

After descriptive statistics are calculated, the cross-sectional data will be analysed as follows:

Assessment of the reliability and validity of the WHO-5 in the general adult population
Association between social media use disorder and wellbeing, and public opinion regarding the appropriate age for initiating social media use
Association between young carer experiences and wellbeing
Associations of adverse childhood experiences, trauma exposure, and PTSD with wellbeing
Assessment of the reliability and validity of the Human Rights-Based Wellbeing Checklist
Association between AI use and wellbeing
Exploration of other factors associated with wellbeing

Linear regression or logistic regression analyses will be conducted to examine the relationships between exposure variables and wellbeing after adjustment for related factors.
