“…There have been a number of systematic reviews that aimed to investigate the effectiveness of telemedical and eHealth interventions for mental health promotion and prevention. These interventions have primarily been shown to improve mental health [ 34 ], physical activity [ 34 , 35 ], well-being [ 36 , 37 ], stress [ 23 , 38 ], depression [ 23 , 36 , 38 , 51 , 52 ], anxiety [ 23 , 36 , 38 , 51 , 52 ], and alcohol [ 24 , 53 - 56 ] and cannabis use [ 57 , 58 ] in the general population in addition to dysfunctional cognition and self-esteem in at-risk populations [ 59 , 60 ]. Importantly, effectiveness has been demonstrated across differing age groups, including adults [ 24 , 54 , 59 ] and adolescents from the general population [ 34 , 52 , 56 , 61 - 63 ], and effect sizes mostly ranged from small to medium.…”

Background Accumulating evidence suggests the COVID-19 pandemic has negative effects on public mental health. Digital interventions that have been developed and evaluated in recent years may be used to mitigate the negative consequences of the pandemic. However, evidence-based recommendations on the use of existing telemedicine and internet-based (eHealth) and app-based mobile health (mHealth) interventions are lacking. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the theoretical and empirical base, user perspective, safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of digital interventions related to public mental health provision (ie, mental health promotion, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders) that may help to reduce the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A rapid meta-review was conducted. The MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and CENTRAL databases were searched on May 11, 2020. Study inclusion criteria were broad and considered systematic reviews and meta-analyses that investigated digital tools for health promotion, prevention, or treatment of mental health conditions and determinants likely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Results Overall, 815 peer-reviewed systematic reviews and meta-analyses were identified, of which 83 met the inclusion criteria. Our findings suggest that there is good evidence on the usability, safety, acceptance/satisfaction, and effectiveness of eHealth interventions. Evidence on mHealth apps is promising, especially if social components (eg, blended care) and strategies to promote adherence are incorporated. Although most digital interventions focus on the prevention or treatment of mental disorders, there is some evidence on mental health promotion. However, evidence on process quality, cost-effectiveness, and long-term effects is very limited. Conclusions There is evidence that digital interventions are particularly suited to mitigating psychosocial consequences at the population level. In times of physical distancing, quarantine, and restrictions on social contacts, decision makers should develop digital strategies for continued mental health care and invest time and efforts in the development and implementation of mental health promotion and prevention programs.
