A Self-Harm Awareness Training Module for School Staff: Co-Design and User Testing Study

A Self-Harm Awareness Training Module for School Staff: Co-Design and User Testing Study

While it is targeted at school staff, it may also be relevant for other professionals working with young people, for example, those in youth organizations, social care, or juvenile justice. The module is already being used by schools, and preliminary data collected before and after training suggest that staff knowledge and confidence increase after completing the training-learning module.

Developing a Novel Mobile App to Support HIV Testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Uptake Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: Formative and Technical Pilot Study

Developing a Novel Mobile App to Support HIV Testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Uptake Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: Formative and Technical Pilot Study

Mobile phone use is nearly ubiquitous among youth, and youth are more likely to use their mobile devices for more activities, such as downloading mobile apps, internet access, social media, and accessing health information, compared to people in older age groups [23,24]. The expansion of smartphones has increased the possibilities of dynamic, mobile phone–based HIV prevention interventions.

Ambivalent User Needs as a Challenge and Chance for the Design of a Web-Based Intervention for Gaming Disorder: Qualitative Interview Study With Adolescents and Young Adults

Ambivalent User Needs as a Challenge and Chance for the Design of a Web-Based Intervention for Gaming Disorder: Qualitative Interview Study With Adolescents and Young Adults

Due to limited time and personnel resources, the search focused on institutions within the health care system and did not extend to settings of everyday life (eg, schools, universities, and youth centers). Finally, participants were selected through a combination of purposive sampling (ie, directly contacting an IUD support group where people who met the inclusion criteria could be found) and convenience sampling (ie, spreading the word among clinic staff to look for young patients with GD symptoms).

Digital Mental Health Interventions for Young People Aged 16-25 Years: Scoping Review

Digital Mental Health Interventions for Young People Aged 16-25 Years: Scoping Review

The aggregate estimated prevalence of mental disorders reported for individuals aged 5 to 24 years indicates that more than 1 in 10 children and youth around the world, which equates to 293 million individuals, live with at least one diagnosable mental disorder [1]. The majority of mental disorders appear by the age of 14 years but often remain undiagnosed and untreated in adulthood [2].

Readdressing the Ongoing Challenge of Missing Data in Youth Ecological Momentary Assessment Studies: Meta-Analysis Update

Readdressing the Ongoing Challenge of Missing Data in Youth Ecological Momentary Assessment Studies: Meta-Analysis Update

By leveraging this knowledge, researchers can tailor EMA studies to enhance acceptability and engagement among youth, thereby mitigating risks of selection bias and enhancing the integrity of the research findings. The first meta-analysis on missing data in EMA youth research was conducted by Wen et al [15], focusing on EMA delivered via mobile devices. Their systematic literature search and selection process identified 42 studies published up to March 2016.

Health-Promoting Effects and Everyday Experiences With a Mental Health App Using Ecological Momentary Assessments and AI-Based Ecological Momentary Interventions Among Young People: Qualitative Interview and Focus Group Study

Health-Promoting Effects and Everyday Experiences With a Mental Health App Using Ecological Momentary Assessments and AI-Based Ecological Momentary Interventions Among Young People: Qualitative Interview and Focus Group Study

The onset of most mental health conditions has been found to occur in youth or early adulthood, and there is an evident link between occurrence in early life and persistence or exacerbation in adulthood, highlighting the importance of early interventions [2-5]. Research calls for holistic and multi- and transdisciplinary approaches for mental health promotion (eg, improving resilience and strengthening protective factors) and more tailored interventions for young people [2].

Evidence of Interventions for the Prevention of Unintentional Injuries: Scoping Review

Evidence of Interventions for the Prevention of Unintentional Injuries: Scoping Review

A multifaceted intervention with components such as a youth leadership program for adolescents, workshops in well-baby clinics and preschools, home visits, and a media campaign showed a greater reduction in emergency room visits in children between 0 and 3 years of age, as well as reduced hospital admission due to burns and falls injury [36]. A significant reduction in injury hazards was identified in a group that received tutorials when compared to an educational pamphlet [32].

Adolescent Emoji Use in Text-Based Messaging: Focus Group Study

Adolescent Emoji Use in Text-Based Messaging: Focus Group Study

Adolescent focus group participants were recruited through a node distribution method, in which contacts of the research team (staff at youth-serving organizations and participants in previous studies) used word-of-mouth to inform potential participants about the study. All participants provided assent and parental consent and then completed a demographic survey that assessed participants’ age, gender, race, and ethnicity. A total of 31 adolescents participated in the focus groups.

A Rent Subsidy and Identity Capital Intervention for Youth Exiting Homelessness: Protocol for the Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness 2.0 Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

A Rent Subsidy and Identity Capital Intervention for Youth Exiting Homelessness: Protocol for the Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness 2.0 Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

This was a secondary analysis of youth (age 18-24 years) in the Canadian study of Housing First in adults (At Home/Chez Soi); there was no systematic adaptation of the intervention for youth. The youth-focused analysis found that Housing First (subsidized housing+intensive mental health supports) was effective for housing stability; however, there were no significant improvements in health and well-being outcomes in the intervention group relative to the control group [8].
