This study will examine the effects of a smartphone-based lifestyle medicine (LM) for improving psychological well-being in Chinese population. Since a range of lifestyle factors are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of common mental disorders (e.g., depression and anxiety), modifying different lifestyle factors simultaneously may be effective to improve our psychological well-being. Chinese dietary recommendations will be integrated into the app to increase the acceptability towards mental health intervention. Through this study, we aim to promote evidence-based patient care and to improve help-seeking and access to evidence-based interventions for improving psychological well-being.
This study will be a randomized controlled trial on the effects of a culturally adapted self-help smartphone-based lifestyle medicine for improving psychological well-being in Chinese population. Prior to all study procedures, eligible participants will be required to complete an online informed consent (with telephone support). Around 30 eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either smartphone-based lifestyle medicine (LM group) or the waitlist control group (WL group) in a ratio of 1:1.

| Change in the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 | DASS-21 is a 21-items scale, comprises of three sub-scales which measures the negative emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress, over the past week.

However, recommended cutoff scores for conventional severity labels (normal, moderate, severe) are given in the DASS Manual. | Immediately post-treatment and 1-month post treatment |

| Baseline, immediately post-treatment and 1-month post treatment |
| Change in the Short Form (Six-Dimension) Health Survey (SF-6D) | SF-6D is a preference-based single index measure of health. A six-digit number represents each SF-6D health state, each digit denotes the level of one of six SF-6D dimensions: physical functioning, role limitation, social functioning, bodily pain, mental health, and vitality. | Baseline, immediately post-treatment and 1-month post treatment |
| Change in the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP II) | The 52-item HPLPII is composed of a total scale and six subscales to measure behaviors in the theorized dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle: spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, nutrition, physical activity, health responsibility, and stress management. | Baseline, immediately post-treatment and 1-month post treatment |
| Change in the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) | SDS is a brief, 5-item self-report tool that assesses functional impairment in work/school, social life, and family life. The participant rates the extent to which work/school, social life and home life or family responsibilities are impaired by his or her symptoms on a 10 point visual analog scale. The numerical ratings of 0-10 can be translated into a percentage, if desired. The 3 items can also be summed into a single dimensional measure of global functional impairment that rages from 0 (unimpaired) to 30 (highly impaired). | Baseline, immediately post-treatment and 1-month post treatment |
| Change in the Credibility-Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ) | The 6-item CEQ yielded ratings of treatment credibility, acceptability/satisfaction, and expectations for success. | Baseline, immediately post-treatment and 1-month post treatment |
| Change in the Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQs) | FFQs is a 18-item scale, including drinks, plant, animal products and cigarette intake, which measures the frequency of food intake over the past three months on a 7-point scale. | Baseline, immediately post-treatment and 1-month post treatment |
| Change in the International Physical Activities Questionnaire - Chinese version (IPAQ-C) | Participants' sitting time, walking time and moderate and vigorous physical activity are assessed by 5 questions from a short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Chinese version. | Baseline, immediately post-treatment and 1-month post treatment |
| Self-developed survey | The self-developed survey will collect information including demographic information (e.g., age, gender, level of education, working industry, relationship status, and location of residence), substance use, body mass index (BMI), rest-activity pattern, and social rhythms, etc. | Baseline |
