The problem
Intervention: Digital single-session interventions (SSIs) - self-guided, online programs delivered to address mental health concerns in youth
Who it was tested with: Pediatric patients and families, including adolescent siblings of children with cancer and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"SSIs evidence small to medium effects across a range of mental health concerns, including distress, anxiety, and depression, supporting their broad applicability." The review provides synthesized evidence that digital SSIs show effectiveness for multiple mental health conditions in youth, supporting their consideration as a scalable approach.
The review does not provide specific effect sizes or detailed methodology of included studies. The two illustrative interventions are described as 'currently in development' and not yet evaluated, so their outcomes are not reported.
