“…PPIs can be used as preventive and easily accessible tools that can promote well-being at-scale by building self-efficacy and reinforcing the effects of meeting concrete goals [33]. Health promotion strategies can address complex mental health issues, treat pre-clinical and underdiagnosed cases, and prevent the recurrence of health problems to sustain health networks [34]. These strategies bolster public policies such as providing employment opportunities and anti-discriminatory laws, establishing supportive environments through interventions like parenting programs, strengthening community action through initiatives like media campaigns and research, and improving health services such as depression screening, all aimed at enhancing health and well-being [10].…”

Background:The rising prevalence of mental health issues in adolescents and young adults (AYA) has become an escalating public health issue, impacting approximately 10% to 20% of AYA on a global scale. Positive psychology interventions (PPIs) can act as powerful mental health promotion tools, offering an effective means to reach wide-ranging audiences that might otherwise be challenging to access. Objective:We aimed to conduct a comprehensive synthesis of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving AYA, encompassing both clinical and non-clinical populations, to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of digital PPIs within this age group, through a systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods: After a literature search in 9 electronic databases uptil 12 January 2023, and grey literature uptil April 2023, we carried out a systematic review for 35 articles and a meta-analysis of 18 individual studies. PPIs included positive psychology online, digital or smartphone-based interventions in children, adolescents, and young adults with a mean age < 35 years. Outcomes of PPIs were defined as well-being and ill-being. We followed the PRISMA guidelines for studies selection and data extraction, and the CONSORT guidelines for the quality assessment of the studies. Standard mean differences (Hedge's g) were calculated as measures of effect sizes.Results: PPIs included various components, such as online meditation and mindfulness (25.7%), positive psychology and selfcompassion (28.6%), gratitude and acts of kindness (8.6%), optimism and positive emotion (14.3%), relationship satisfaction and acceptance (5.7%), purpose and well-being (14.3%). 74.4% of the included studies focused on ill-being outcomes. For wellbeing outcomes, meta-analytic results showed that PPIs augmented the feeling of purpose, gratitude, and hope, compassion, positive coping behaviors, body-image related outcomes, and positive mindset predisposition. For ill-being outcomes, PPIs reduced cognitive biases, negative emtoions and mood, and stress levels. To note, larger effect sizes were found when a waiting list control group was considered versus digital control group.Conclusions: There's strong evidence that PPIs benefit AYA's well-being, from boosting positive feelings to reducing negative emotions. Digital platforms offer a unique way to address their mental health challenges. Future research should explore how how different PPIs increase well-being compared to other digital interventions.

BACKGROUND The rising prevalence of mental health issues in children, adolescents, and young adults has become an escalating public health issue, impacting approximately 10%-20% of young people on a global scale. Positive psychology interventions (PPIs) can act as powerful mental health promotion tools to reach wide-ranging audiences that might otherwise be challenging to access. This increased access would enable prevention of mental disorders and promotion of widespread well-being by enhancing self-efficacy, thereby supporting the achievement of tangible objectives. OBJECTIVE We aimed to conduct a comprehensive synthesis of all randomized controlled trials and controlled trials involving children, adolescents, and young adults, encompassing both clinical and nonclinical populations, to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of digital PPIs in this age group. METHODS After a literature search in 9 electronic databases until January 12, 2023, and gray literature until April 2023, we carried out a systematic review of 35 articles, of which 18 (51%) provided data for the meta-analysis. We included randomized controlled trials and controlled trials mainly based on web-based, digital, or smartphone-based interventions using a positive psychology framework as the main component. Studies included participants with a mean age of <35 years. Outcomes of PPIs were classified into indicators of well-being (compassion, life satisfaction, optimism, happiness, resilience, emotion regulation and emotion awareness, hope, mindfulness, purpose, quality of life, gratitude, empathy, forgiveness, motivation, and kindness) and ill-being (depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, and burnout). PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were used for the selection of studies and data extraction. Quality assessment was performed following the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) guidelines. RESULTS For well-being outcomes, meta-analytic results showed that PPIs augmented the feeling of purpose, gratitude, and hope (Hedges g=0.555), compassion (Hedges g=0.447), positive coping behaviors (Hedges g=0.421), body image–related outcomes (Hedges g=0.238), and positive mindset predisposition (Hedges g=0.304). For ill-being outcomes, PPIs reduced cognitive biases (Hedges g=–0.637), negative emotions and mood (Hedges g=–0.369), and stress levels (Hedges g=–0.342). Of note, larger effect sizes were found when a waiting list control group was considered versus a digital control group. A funnel plot showed no publication bias. Meta-regression analyses showed that PPIs tended to show a larger effect size on well-being outcomes in studies including young adults, whereas no specific effect was found for ill-being outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Revised evidence suggests that PPIs benefit young people’s well-being and mitigate ill-being symptoms. Digital platforms offer a unique way to address their mental health challenges, although not without limitations. Future research should explore how they work for the needs of the young population and further examine what specific PPIs or combination of interventions is most beneficial with respect to other digital control groups.
