In November 2018, CA principal researchers/trainers visited Jinan and trained 24 team members to become the Core ACE-LYNX implementation team.
In 2019, the Data Collection & Analysis (DCA) team completed the Contextual Analysis with 144 service providers and 600 students across the six participating universities in Jinan to assess the students’ mental health status and needs.
Between December 2020 and June 2021, the CN-IMP team had successfully recruited and trained the first generation of ACE-LYNX Pro, with a total of 151 mental health professionals from the six participating universities. Each participating university trained a minimum of 20 ACE-LYNX Pro participants. The DCA team worked closely with the IMP team to achieve high standard and high quality of data collection.
