Introduction: Mental health problems are common among students at university, representing a major public health concern. The internet and new technologies are widely used by students and represent a significant resource to them for mental health information and support. Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to summarize and critique studies of mental health-related digital use (including purposes, advantages, and barriers) by students worldwide, to support the implementation of future digital mental health interventions targeting university students. Methods: We searched for peer-reviewed articles published between January 2008 and May 2018 by using Pubmed, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and SocINDEX. Studies were coded by author, year of publication, country, research design, recruitment and sampling, data collection, analysis method, key findings, and mean quality score. Outcomes were synthetized through the textual narrative synthesis method. Results: Of the 1,487 titles and abstracts screened, 24 articles were critically reviewed. Sample sizes ranged from 19 to 6,034 participants. The two key findings were that students worldwide have a high need for mental health information and are prepared to use digital tools for their mental health and wellbeing. However, they are currently struggling to discern trustworthy information online and are expressing a desire for reliable devices handling their sensitive data. Conclusions: Through the description of patterns in university students' mental health-related digital use, this review outlines important features for potential web-and mobilebased interventions for promoting mental health and preventing mental illness at the university.

“…Before translating the Internet-based interventions, a study was undertaken to investigate the need for a Web-based self-help intervention [47]. Nearly 31.9% (115/367) of the respondents reported they felt a need for help, but had not sought help; therefore, they had an unmet need for help.…”

BackgroundDepression is common and treatable with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), for example. However, access to this therapy is limited. Internet-based interventions have been found to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression. The International Society for Research on Internet Interventions has highlighted the importance of translating effective Internet programs into multiple languages to enable worldwide dissemination.ObjectiveThe aim of the current study was to determine if it would be cost effective to translate an existing English-language Internet-based intervention for use in a non-English-speaking country.MethodsThis paper reports an evaluation of a trial in which a research group in Norway translated two English-language Internet-based interventions into Norwegian (MoodGYM and BluePages) that had previously been shown to reduce symptoms of depression. The translation process and estimates of the cost-effectiveness of such a translation process is described. Estimated health effect was found by using quality-adjusted life years (QALY).ResultsConservative estimates indicate that for every 1000 persons treated, 16 QALYs are gained. The investment is returned 9 times and the cost-effectiveness ratio (CER) is 3432. The costs of the translation project totaled to approximately 27% of the estimated original English-language version development costs.ConclusionsThe economic analysis shows that the cost-effectiveness of the translation project was substantial. Hopefully, these results will encourage others to do similar analyses and report cost-effectiveness data in their research reports.

“…Three hundred and sixty seven students at the University of Tromsø in Norway completed questionnaires on their depressive symptoms, negative self‐thinking, intention to use internet‐based CBT service, previous help‐seeking behaviors, and mental health (Lintvedt, SØrensen, Østvik, Verplanken, & Wang, ). Nearly half (45.8%) of the participants had felt a need for help with their mental health in the past, but only 13.9% sought help.…”
