“…Four studies did not report participant engagement in the intervention [25,29,32,40]. In addition, 14 studies were classified as high engagement [9,21,23,24,26,28,31,[34][35][36]38,46,48,49], 7 studies were classified as medium engagement [26,27,30,[43][44][45][46][47], and 5 studies were classified as low engagement [20,22,37,39,41]. Among studies that reported high engagement and an intervention development description [23,24,31,34,35,38,47,48], 3 studies included a real-world effectiveness assessment (not efficacy).…”

Background Peer support is recognized globally as an essential recovery service for people with mental health conditions. With the influx of digital mental health services changing the way mental health care is delivered, peer supporters are increasingly using technology to deliver peer support. In light of these technological advances, there is a need to review and synthesize the emergent evidence for peer-supported digital health interventions for adults with mental health conditions. Objective The aim of this study was to identify and review the evidence of digital peer support interventions for people with a lived experience of a serious mental illness. Methods This systematic review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) procedures. The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles published between 1946 and December 2018 that examined digital peer support interventions for people with a lived experience of a serious mental illness. Additional articles were found by searching the reference lists from the 27 articles that met the inclusion criteria and a Google Scholar search in June 2019. Participants, interventions, comparisons, outcomes, and study design (PICOS) criteria were used to assess study eligibility. Two authors independently screened titles and abstracts, and reviewed all full-text articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Discrepancies were discussed and resolved. All included studies were assessed for methodological quality using the Methodological Quality Rating Scale. Results Thirty studies (11 randomized controlled trials, 2 quasiexperimental, 15 pre-post designs, and 2 qualitative studies) were included that reported on 24 interventions. Most of the studies demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of peer-to-peer networks, peer-delivered interventions supported with technology, and asynchronous and synchronous technologies. Conclusions Digital peer support interventions appear to be feasible and acceptable, with strong potential for clinical effectiveness. However, the field is in the early stages of development and requires well-powered efficacy and clinical effectiveness trials.

“…In the feld of HCI, researchers have developed and explored diferent technological systems that aim to make mental health interventions more accessible (e.g., via online therapy [88], peer-support systems [64,65], and mental health mobile phone apps [7,58,72]). In parallel, mental health apps have become increasingly more commercially available (e.g., [17,32]).…”

Research increasingly shows that technology can improve access to mental health interventions. However, unaccompanied migrant youth (UMY) still struggle in accessing appropriate mental health resources in spite of their high need for mental health support. Through co-design workshops, and using the lens of the socialecological model of resilience, we explored the social-ecological factors that support or hinder UMY's use of mental health apps as resources. We identifed the strong infuence of the macro-system (i.e. resettlement policies) on the bio-and micro-systems, which in turn limits participants' abilities to use the apps. Our fndings highlight the factors specifc to each social-ecological systemincluding personal experiences, technological infrastructure and social environment-that need to be accounted for when designing technological mental health resources for UMY. This contributes: a rich description of the interplay of mental health apps with socialecological systems in which UMY are embedded; and the corresponding design considerations.

“…Also, social media usage reveals socio-economic characteristics: correlation have been found between employment rate and correct use of the language, diverse mobility patterns, and diurnal rhythm [1,23]. Similarly, works in HCI domain studied how data from social media can be used to better design online therapy for mental health problems [22], also highlighting how the peer-to-peer interaction helps to emerge deeper insights of people's issues [30]. They also studied how social media data can complement studies about eating disorder [8], depression [2,36], personality traits [16] and general people characteristics [19].…”

Social web data increasingly complement studies of various social phenomena, especially when the availability of traditional data is limited. One such case is that of vulnerable young populations that are disengaged from employment, education, or training; usually referred to as NEETs. This paper explores the extent to which social media data and discussion websites could complement conventional sources in the study of NEETs. We focus on user-generated content posted to the dedicated r/NEET subreddit, which gathers subscribers who self-identify as NEETs. We develop and implement a data processing pipeline for the analysis of the behavioral patterns and main concerns of this social group. Our analysis of Reddit data reaches similar conclusions to official reports from governmental institutions in Europe. The paper also provides insights into healthrelated issues and latent interests of NEETs, not recorded in official reports and related literature.
