Universal Digital Mental Health Interventions for Children and Youth

This scoping review examines universal digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) for children and youth. A total of 52 studies were identified, primarily conducted in high-income countries, using a hybrid format, involving adult facilitators, and assessing multiple psychological outcomes in children aged 5–18. Emotional outcomes were the most commonly studied. Findings highlight important directions for the future by highlighting gaps in the literature such that those in greatest need of accessible mental health and that would most likely benefit have been severely understudied (i.e., traditionally disadvantaged populations and early childhood).
