AB  - BACKGROUND: Well-being is multidimensional, complex, and dynamic in nature. It is 
      an amalgam of physical and mental health, essential for disease prevention and 
      the promotion of a healthy life. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the 
      features that impact the well-being of individuals between 18 and 24 years of age 
      in an Indian setting. It further aims to design, develop, and evaluate the 
      usefulness and effectiveness of a web-based informatics platform or stand-alone 
      intervention to enhance the well-being of individuals aged 18-24 years in an 
      Indian setting. METHODS: This study follows a mixed method approach to identify 
      factors influencing the well-being of individuals in the age group of 18-24 years 
      in an Indian setting. The college-going students in this age group from the 
      states of Uttarakhand (urban settings of Dehradun) and Uttar Pradesh (urban 
      settings of Meerut) will be enrolled. They will be randomly allocated to the 
      control and intervention groups. The participants in the intervention group will 
      have access to the web-based well-being platform. RESULTS: This study will 
      examine the factors that influence the well-being of individuals aged 18-24 
      years. It will also facilitate the design and development of the web-based 
      platform or stand-alone intervention, which will enhance the well-being of 
      individuals in the age group of 18-24 years in an Indian setting. Furthermore, 
      the results of this study will help generate a well-being index for individuals 
      to plan tailored interventions. The 60 in-depth interviews have been conducted as 
      of September 30, 2022. CONCLUSIONS: The study will help understand the factors 
      that influence the well-being of individuals. The findings of this study will 
      help in the design and development of the web-based platform or stand-alone 
      intervention to enhance the well-being of individuals in the age group of 18-24 
      years in an Indian setting. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID):
