Summary Preventing or mitigating substance use among youth generally involves three different intervention frameworks: universal prevention, selective prevention, and treatment. Each of these levels of intervention poses unique therapeutic and implementation challenges. Technology-based interventions provide solutions to many of these problems by delivering evidence-based interventions in a consistent and cost-effective manner. This article summarizes the current state of the science of technology-based interventions for preventing substance use initiation and mitigating substance use and associated consequences among youth.

“…For example, a study of adolescents, which used GPSenabled cell phones to track contextual exposure to alcohol and marijuana use, found an association between "activity spaces" (digital activity trails) and substance use, such that exposure to low socioeconomic status neighborhoods in daily "activity spaces" (distinct from residential context) was associated with greater marijuana use [28]. Furthermore, a study found that an adult's travel tracks within a certain time frame (e.g., past 12 h), rather than position in a specific location (e.g., home), predicted "in the moment" report of drug craving [59].…”

“…Compounding the increasing trend in use, adolescent and young adult marijuana users tend to have relatively low readiness to change [26] and are unlikely to seek or receive formal intervention [27]. In contrast to formal treatment, smartphone-based brief interventions delivered in the natural environment are generally seen as acceptable and less stigmatizing to youth [28,29].…”

Innovative Routes for Enhancing Adolescent Marijuana Treatment: Interplay of Peer Influence Across Social Media and Geolocation

et al. 2016

Peer behaviors are highly influential in youth decision-making around whether to use marijuana. Social media, as a popular form of peer interaction, has extended peer influence on marijuana use from "in-person" to "on-line" relationships. This is highly concerning, as youth may report their marijuana use on social media as it occurs. The immediacy and possible virality of this type of on-line interaction not only is a source of risk, but also may have utility for monitoring and predicting an episode of marijuana use just before it occurs. This article discusses how in-person and on-line peer interactions contribute to youth marijuana use in order to identify triggering social contexts (e.g., in-person co-location of peers, on-line peer influence) associated with marijuana use. The development of an innovative approach to youth intervention for marijuana use, which combines real-time assessment of social media activity and geographic location of youth and a peer, is described.

Abstract:Current psychological treatment approaches that rely on time-intensive, face-to-face psychotherapy are not capable of meeting the demand for mental health services. Mental health interventions that promote selfregulation and self-management of symptoms will play an increasingly important role in the well-being of millions of individuals. Self-monitoring is a core assessment and intervention component of many mental health interventions and an obligatory first step in the self-regulation process. The present paper reviews prominent theories of self-regulation and describes classic studies spanning clinical, social, cognitive, and personality psychology, which identify potential mechanisms underlying self-monitoring. At the empirical level, we describe the use of self-monitoring across a range of behavioral interventions directed at mental health and physical outcomes, identify factors that influence the effects of self-monitoring, and suggest ways in which technology can be incorporated into these interventions to improve the reach of psychological interventions.
