Well-being is multidimensional, complex, and dynamic. It is an amalgam of physical and mental health, essential for disease prevention and promoting healthy life.
Objective:
This research study is designed to explore the features that impact the well-being of the individuals between 18-24 years in an Indian setting.

Methods:
This study involves a mixed-method approach to identify factors influencing the well-being of the individuals in the age bracket of 18-24 years in an Indian setting.

They will be randomly allocated to the control and intervention groups. The subjects under the intervention group will have access to the Internet-based well-being platform.
Results:
This study will bring forward the factors that influence the well-being of the individuals among 18-24 years. It will also facilitate to design, and development of an Internet-based platform/standalone intervention to improve the well-being of individuals in the age group of 18-24 years in an Indian setting.
Conclusions:
This study will examine the factors that influence well-being among individuals 18-24 years. It will also facilitate the design and development of the internet-based platform/standalone intervention which will enhance the well-being of individuals of the age group of 18-24 years in an Indian setting.
