impact of the life skills training program on Psychological well-being (anxiety, depression and stress) among
adolescents. Study design and methods: The review will be conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.
The International Prospective Register for Systematic Reviews has accepted this protocol. Following the
three procedures, a literature search will be conducted on research articles published between 2011 and
2021 that are limited to the English language. A preliminary search will be made using terms such as life
skills training, anxiety, depression, stress, and teenagers in the Web of Sciences and PubMed-Medline
databases. The titles and abstracts of the studies given will be combed for relevant keywords. The quality
of all selected publications will be assessed using the JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute Manual) clinical appraisal
checklist for RCTs and non-RCTs. Two authors will independently assess the quality of the work, and any
discrepancies will be resolved. Results: A descriptive synthesis will be performed and presented in the
form of a narrative summary as tabular format. The summaries will include both narrative descriptions and
statistical data from the studies. The meta-analysis will be done for anxiety, depression and stress.

importance of incorporating life skills training programs in academics to reach the desired goals of the
students. What is already known about the topic? Many studies have successfully concluded the impact
