“…Note that CopeSmart, Mayo Clinic Anxiety Coach, Mobiletype, and Mobile Mood Diary were associated with multiple studies (Table 2). The primary focus of the apps were prevention and early intervention (n=4 [26,31,32,39,47]), assessment and screening (n=2 [34,35,37,44-46]), adjuncts to face-to-face mental health care (n=5 [28,29,33,36,38,41]), and standalone self-help interventions (n=4 [27,30,40,42,48]). The majority included some form of self-monitoring of symptoms, mood, emotions, behavior, or meals.…”

BackgroundThere are an increasing number of mobile apps available for adolescents with mental health problems and an increasing interest in assimilating mobile health (mHealth) into mental health services. Despite the growing number of apps available, the evidence base for their efficacy is unclear.ObjectiveThis review aimed to systematically appraise the available research evidence on the efficacy and acceptability of mobile apps for mental health in children and adolescents younger than 18 years.MethodsThe following were systematically searched for relevant publications between January 2008 and July 2016: APA PsychNet, ACM Digital Library, Cochrane Library, Community Care Inform-Children, EMBASE, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Social Policy and Practice, Web of Science, Journal of Medical Internet Research, Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking, and OpenGrey. Abstracts were included if they described mental health apps (targeting depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, self-harm, suicide prevention, conduct disorder, eating disorders and body image issues, schizophrenia, psychosis, and insomnia) for mobile devices and for use by adolescents younger than 18 years.ResultsA total of 24 publications met the inclusion criteria. These described 15 apps, two of which were available to download. Two small randomized trials and one case study failed to demonstrate a significant effect of three apps on intended mental health outcomes. Articles that analyzed the content of six apps for children and adolescents that were available to download established that none had undergone any research evaluation. Feasibility outcomes suggest acceptability of apps was good and app usage was moderate.ConclusionsOverall, there is currently insufficient research evidence to support the effectiveness of apps for children, preadolescents, and adolescents with mental health problems. Given the number and pace at which mHealth apps are being released on app stores, methodologically robust research studies evaluating their safety, efficacy, and effectiveness is promptly needed.

“…Focus groups and interviews have been used in conjunction in other areas of health research (Lambert & Loiselle, 2008), but to date have not been pooled to investigate CYP uptake of health-apps. Combining these approaches has the potential to afford deeper understanding of health issues (Kennard et al, 2015). As such, we used both methods in the present study.…”

“…Data suggests that 90% of 16-24 year-olds own a smartphone (OFCOM, 2015) and are more likely (compared with older groups) to go online and use apps to source information about health (Klein & Wilson, 2002;Kontos et al, 2014). There appear to be a number of reasons for this, including CYP concerns about discussing stigmatized health issues with the family doctor (Eastin, 2005;Eysenbach, 2008;Klein & Wilson, 2002;Rideout, 2001), and a preference for the anonymity, autonomy and privacy offered by health-apps (Barak & Grohol, 2011;Eastin, 2005;Kennard et al, 2015).…”

When young-people need health information they are increasingly likely to use online sources and health-apps. Yet, these are not necessarily well-designed, reliable or appropriate, and research has primarily focused on adult use. Our study is the first to use qualitative mixed-methods (focus groups and interviews) to apply the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to understand 26 young-people's uptake and use of a new, clinically-approved healthapp for 16-25 year olds. We found that perceived usefulness, perceived ease-of-use, social influences and trust, all differently impacted CYP health-app acceptance and effectiveness. Implications for future research and young-person health-app development are discussed.
