Leveraging Influencers to Reach and Engage Vulnerable Individuals With a Digital Health Intervention: Quasi-Experimental Field Study

Leveraging Influencers to Reach and Engage Vulnerable Individuals With a Digital Health Intervention: Quasi-Experimental Field Study

Stress Less aimed to mimic state-of-the-art health-related apps such as Calm [68] or Headspace [69] and address the traditionalist milieu, who have conservative values and appreciate status quo–oriented apps; the focus of the app was primarily on the health and prevention aspect, and the design was moderate and plain. The breathing training was traditional without gamified components, which leads to rather low experiential or hedonic value.

A Robot-Delivered Training Program to Improve Children’s Mental Health and Resilience in Dutch Primary Schools: Pilot Intervention Study

A Robot-Delivered Training Program to Improve Children’s Mental Health and Resilience in Dutch Primary Schools: Pilot Intervention Study

Therefore, it is important to invest in the mental health of young people through, for example, initiatives focused on mental health promotion and prevention. Fostering resilience, defined as the ability to cope with stressful situations and successfully adapt to setbacks [7], can be considered a key factor in mental health promotion. Resilience encompasses the ability to bounce back from adversity, adapt positively to challenging circumstances, and maintain well-being in the face of stress or trauma.

Addressing Youth Mental Health Through Schools and Primary Care Clinics Using the Connected for Wellness Mobile App: Protocol for a Stepped-Wedge Trial

Addressing Youth Mental Health Through Schools and Primary Care Clinics Using the Connected for Wellness Mobile App: Protocol for a Stepped-Wedge Trial

Our previous work supports the hypothesis that mobile apps and other digital health interventions are effective for delivering mental health and prevention services provided that they meet the needs and preferences of end users [4]. These interventions can be successfully implemented within child-, adolescent-, and family-serving systems of care.

Multilevel Diabetes Prevention Interventions to Address Population Inequities in Diabetes Risk: Scoping Review

Multilevel Diabetes Prevention Interventions to Address Population Inequities in Diabetes Risk: Scoping Review

Historically, diabetes prevention efforts have concentrated on individual-level interventions that aim to address modifiable lifestyle and clinical risk factors [10]. These strategies—such as lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and metabolic surgery for those at high risk—have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing diabetes risk and play an important role in diabetes prevention [11].

What to Consider When Developing Multidomain Mobile Health Interventions for Lifestyle Management

What to Consider When Developing Multidomain Mobile Health Interventions for Lifestyle Management

In recent years, research has increasingly supported these interventions for the prevention and management of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes, and cancers. Adhering to healthy lifestyle behaviors is an effective [22] and cost-effective strategy for preventing NCDs [23]. The prevention of NCDs could reduce global mortality rates and alleviate sources of morbidity, disability, health care expenditures, and productivity losses [24].

Evaluating a Digital Intervention to Reduce Aggression and Pro-Firearm Violence Attitudes Among Young Black Males: Pretest-Posttest Feasibility Study

Evaluating a Digital Intervention to Reduce Aggression and Pro-Firearm Violence Attitudes Among Young Black Males: Pretest-Posttest Feasibility Study

Black youth remain historically underserved in mental health and early violence prevention systems (ie, primary prevention). Barriers to accessing trauma-informed care include stigma, institutional mistrust, racialized criminalization, and systemic underinvestment in their communities [10]. Even after injury, long wait times, limited follow-up, cold referrals, and provider mistrust deter intervention and engagement with follow-up services [11-16].

Adolescents’ and Young Adults’ Perceptions of a Pop-Up Aimed at Combating the Spread of E-Cigarette Misinformation on Social Media: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Participants were shown two images of a fictitious pop-up tagged as “trusted resources” with a link to “vaping–related information” from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) (Figure 1). They were then asked what they would think about seeing this pop-up appear when: (1) searching for vaping on social media (“Imagine you were searching for vaping on social media and a link came up like in the image shown below.

Genotype Distribution and Migration Patterns of Hepatitis C Virus in Shandong Province, China: Molecular Epidemiology and Phylogenetic Study

Understanding the trends in prevalence, distribution of primary genotypes, and patterns of HCV transmission in Shandong Province can provide a scientific foundation for disease prevention and control in the region. Furthermore, it can serve as a valuable reference for comprehending the HCV epidemic in other areas of China and globally [19].

Factors Influencing Engagement in a Digital Substance Use Prevention Program: Qualitative Study Using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation Model and Theoretical Domains Framework

Factors Influencing Engagement in a Digital Substance Use Prevention Program: Qualitative Study Using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation Model and Theoretical Domains Framework

Therefore, early and midadolescence appear to be a critical period for introducing substance use prevention interventions. School settings are particularly suitable, as they facilitate delivery and access, especially within compulsory education systems. Life skills–based intervention programs to prevent substance use delivered in the school have been effective at preventing the onset of specific substances [9-11] and at decreasing problematic substance use [12].
