Co-Development of the CoMUni Intervention: A Social-Media-Based Resource to Increase Mental Health Help-Seeking Behaviours in UK Undergraduates.

ABSTRACT: Each academic year, numerous students experience mental health problems. Despite this, many avoid seeking any form of help, which can lead to problems worsening. This paper reflects upon the co-development process of an intervention which aimed to increase help-seeking behaviours in undergraduate students. Online workshops were conducted with a student co-production team, including the completion of tasks designed to incorporate the eight steps of the Behaviour Change Wheel framework. During the co-production process, the team made key decisions in relation to the developed intervention's main function, the behaviour change techniques used, and the content presented. As a result of the process, the team developed CoMUni, a social media-based intervention sharing other students' experiences
