Developing an Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention for Adolescents With Anxiety Disorders: Design, Usability, and Initial Evaluation of the CoolMinds Intervention

In this study, we specifically collected data focusing on how to enhance engagement with the DMHI guided by the following objectives: What are adolescents’ preferences on graphic identity and communication styles within a digital intervention? How do adolescents prefer to seek help and be supported by their parents in this? How do adolescents navigate a prototype of the digital platform and content? What are the families’ initial impressions of the platform and content while in treatment?

Perspectives of Adolescents and Young Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease on a Biopsychosocial Transition Intervention: Qualitative Interview Study

Perspectives of Adolescents and Young Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease on a Biopsychosocial Transition Intervention: Qualitative Interview Study

The transition from the pediatric to the adult health care system can be a complex period for adolescents and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their families [1]. In adult care, adolescents and young adults are expected to self-advocate, communicate with providers, understand their health history, and manage their health with greater independence [2,3].

Facilitators and Barriers to Digital Mental Health Interventions for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in Adolescents and Young Adults: Scoping Review

Facilitators and Barriers to Digital Mental Health Interventions for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in Adolescents and Young Adults: Scoping Review

DMHIs offer several advantages and have strong potential to become widely adopted service options, particularly for adolescents and young adults (AYAs). First, DMHIs align with the digital era and are well-suited to the new generation, who are familiar with, comfortable using, and frequent users of the web, digital media, and screen devices. According to the International Telecommunication Union’s Facts and Figures 2023, 79% of people aged 15-24 years use the internet globally [11].

Investigating the Magnitude and Persistence of COVID-19–Related Impacts on Affect and GPS-Derived Daily Mobility Patterns in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: Insights From a Smartphone-Based Intensive Longitudinal Study of Colorado-Based Youths From June 2016 to April 2022

Investigating the Magnitude and Persistence of COVID-19–Related Impacts on Affect and GPS-Derived Daily Mobility Patterns in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: Insights From a Smartphone-Based Intensive Longitudinal Study of Colorado-Based Youths From June 2016 to April 2022

Youths (ie, late adolescents and emerging adults) in particular faced unique stressors during the pandemic, most notably disruptions to developmental milestones, such as transitioning into college or the workforce, peer group formation, and parental separation [3-5], often with significant impacts on their mental health, including increases in rates of self-reported anxiety and depression symptoms [6-8].

Nationwide Trends in Screen Time and Associated Risk Factors by Family Structures Among Adolescents, 2008-2022: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

Nationwide Trends in Screen Time and Associated Risk Factors by Family Structures Among Adolescents, 2008-2022: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

A recent study highlighted a significant increase in screen time among Korean adolescents, with teenagers spending an average of 303.66 minutes daily during the pandemic, a substantial rise from 133.24 minutes in the prepandemic period [14]. The screen time of adolescents appears to be influenced by their family structure, likely due to variations in parental monitoring, restrictions on screen use, and the promotion of outdoor activities [15].

Optimizing Engagement With a Smartphone App to Prevent Violence Against Adolescents: Results From a Cluster Randomized Factorial Trial in Tanzania

Optimizing Engagement With a Smartphone App to Prevent Violence Against Adolescents: Results From a Cluster Randomized Factorial Trial in Tanzania

Using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework [54] for systematic intervention optimization, we conducted a cluster randomized factorial trial to identify optimal components for maximizing engagement with Parent App among socioeconomically disadvantaged caregivers of adolescents in Tanzania. The trial examined 3 factors: guidance, app design, and digital support. Our primary objective was to determine the independent effects of these factors on primary and secondary engagement outcomes.

A Digital Pornography Education Prototype Co-Designed With Young People: Formative Evaluation

A Digital Pornography Education Prototype Co-Designed With Young People: Formative Evaluation

However, many of these interventions remain highly focused on singular or complementary behavioural outcomes in adolescents, such as STI prevention and contraception use [26]. As such, there is a distinct need for an online sexual health platform that is not only informed by, and tailored to the specific needs of structurally marginalized young people, but also provides them with a more comprehensive education on a wide range of sexual health topics, including pornography literacy.

Exploring the Use of Digital Educational Tools for Sexual and Reproductive Health in Sub-Saharan Africa: Systematic Review

Exploring the Use of Digital Educational Tools for Sexual and Reproductive Health in Sub-Saharan Africa: Systematic Review

According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 1.2 billion adolescents aged 10 to 19 years with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) problems, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies, many of whom face significant barriers to accessing SRH-related education. With the increasing rates of SRH problems and mental health issues among adolescents, there is a pressing global need for effective educational tools that address the SRH needs of adolescents [1,2].
