“…There was a noted reduction in binge drinking following the use of the app (Carrà et al, 2016), and the findings of this study provide further support for the acceptability of mobile technology, as a response rate of 82% was achieved, with 98% of participants reporting that the eHealth app was easy to use (Carrà et al, 2015). A wealth of evidence demonstrates that electronic communication based interventions are widely accepted by both young people (Britto et al, 2012;Dennison et al, 2013;Lim et al, 2012) and a number of other population groups (Arora et al, 2012;Patrick et al, 2009;Proudfoot et al, 2010).…”

As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Out of 3298 relevant citations, 13 papers consisting of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria.Effectiveness of intervention delivery was assessed using behavioural outcomes. Eight papers delivered interventions using the Web, three implemented text messaging, one used a mobile phone app and the remaining paper used a social networking site.The ability to provide personalized electronic feedback resulted in a reduction in alcohol consumption, frequency of binge drinking, and drinking in a non-risky way. However, intervention length did not appear to have an impact on overall effectiveness.Usage of text messaging and Social Network Sites (SNS) increased accessibility and ease of engaging in an intervention that is appealing and acceptable for young adults.

“…Additionally, online information and other social media could be developed for youth on health‐related topics; recent research indicates one‐third of this age group uses online data to improve behavior (Wartella, Rideout, Zupancic, Beaudoin‐Ryan, & Lauricella, ). Illustrating this concept, one study reported that mobile E‐Health interventions for youth binge drinking showed short‐term efficacy in minimizing the behavior and could be further tested in a longer term fashion (Carrà et al., ). Other interventions could target stressors, many of which are modifiable, as they also negatively impact physical and mental health (McEwen, Gray, & Nasca, ).…”

We promote the perspective that puberty, a separate biological process embedded in adolescence, is a "window of opportunity" for understanding and impacting health and development. First, we include a brief overview of pubertal change. Second, we propose a critical role for puberty in shaping life span health due to its connections with early life precursors, health issues and risks emerging during puberty, and health in young adulthood and beyond. Next, we discuss the importance of puberty measures in developmental research and suggest ways to make the science of puberty an important standalone research entity, as well as an essential component of studies conducted during adolescence. Finally, we discuss measurement issues, novel theoretical models of puberty, and the necessity of adopting an interdisciplinary perspective in research on puberty and in adolescence more broadly.Requests for reprints should be sent to Lorah D.

“…Several e-health solutions [i.e., A-CHESS ( 18 )] improve self-management by providing self-assessment modules and reminders and also allow for rapid contact with a support service to ensure swift responses in case of need. Other types of software [ORION ( 19 , 20 ), D-ARIANNA ( 21 , 22 ), Steering Clear program ( 23 )] optimize behavioral risk quantification (overdose for Orion, binge-drinking for D-ARIANNA, drink-driving for Steering Clear) via scalar self-assessment modules. These programs deliver rapid intervention in the form of guidelines, tips, motivational techniques and people to contact.…”

e-Addictology: An Overview of New Technologies for Assessing and Intervening in Addictive Behaviors

BackgroundNew technologies can profoundly change the way we understand psychiatric pathologies and addictive disorders. New concepts are emerging with the development of more accurate means of collecting live data, computerized questionnaires, and the use of passive data. Digital phenotyping, a paradigmatic example, refers to the use of computerized measurement tools to capture the characteristics of different psychiatric disorders. Similarly, machine learning–a form of artificial intelligence–can improve the classification of patients based on patterns that clinicians have not always considered in the past. Remote or automated interventions (web-based or smartphone-based apps), as well as virtual reality and neurofeedback, are already available or under development.ObjectiveThese recent changes have the potential to disrupt practices, as well as practitioners’ beliefs, ethics and representations, and may even call into question their professional culture. However, the impact of new technologies on health professionals’ practice in addictive disorder care has yet to be determined. In the present paper, we therefore present an overview of new technology in the field of addiction medicine.MethodUsing the keywords [e-health], [m-health], [computer], [mobile], [smartphone], [wearable], [digital], [machine learning], [ecological momentary assessment], [biofeedback] and [virtual reality], we searched the PubMed database for the most representative articles in the field of assessment and interventions in substance use disorders.ResultsWe screened 595 abstracts and analyzed 92 articles, dividing them into seven categories: e-health program and web-based interventions, machine learning, computerized adaptive testing, wearable devices and digital phenotyping, ecological momentary assessment, biofeedback, and virtual reality.ConclusionThis overview shows that new technologies can improve assessment and interventions in the field of addictive disorders. The precise role of connected devices, artificial intelligence and remote monitoring remains to be defined. If they are to be used effectively, these tools must be explained and adapted to the different profiles of physicians and patients. The involvement of patients, caregivers and other health professionals is essential to their design and assessment.
