“…Currently, a shortage of mental health workers available to address child, adolescent, and family behavioral health issues exists in the United States, with less than 50 % of those in need of treatment receiving it and only 20 % receiving services from a practitioner trained to work with youth and their families (APA 2016). Use of technological platforms ostensibly addresses several of the issues evident in reaching various groups lacking access, such as those living in remote locations, those who avoid intervention due to the stigma associated with traditional services for mental health problems, and those who cannot afford the cost of interventions delivered by professionals (Clarke et al 2015; Reyes-Partillo et al 2014). …”

In the past 10 years, mental and behavioral health has seen a proliferation of technology-based interventions in the form of online and other computer-delivered programs. This paper focuses on technology-based treatment and preventive interventions aimed at benefitting children and adolescents via either involving the parents and families, or only the youth. The review considered only technology-based interventions that had at least one published study with a randomized controlled trial design. Questions being addressed included: (1) What are the technology-based interventions in the mental/behavioral health area that have been systematically evaluated in published studies? (2) What are the common and unique characteristics of these interventions and their application with respect to sample characteristics, target problems, and technology characteristics (platforms, structures, elements, and communication formats)? and (3) Which intervention approaches and strategies have accrued the greatest evidence? The review identified 30 technology-based psychosocial interventions for children and families, 19 of which were parent or family-focused (32 studies) and 11 of which were youth-focused (in 13 studies). For the parent/family-focused interventions, greatest promise was found in those that addressed either youth behavioral problems or depressive/anxious symptoms, as well as more general bolstering of parenting efficacy. The youth-focused interventions showed some promise in reducing depressive/ anxious symptoms. Advantages and disadvantages of the technology-based approaches were considered, and areas for future research and development were discussed.

“…ReyesPortillo et al 2014 published a systematic review on 25 articles including web-based treatment and prevention programs for depression, anxiety, and suicide prevention in children, adolescents, and youth adults. They concluded that, even though depression and anxiety symptoms got reduced, there was limited evidence for the effectiveness of these kinds of interventions mainly due to the methodological design variations [40].…”

“…The self-help program was adapted from BRAVE-ONLINE, a 10-session, internet-delivered CBT program implemented with brief therapist support. The evidence base for the therapist-assisted program is strong [9][10][11][12] and the program is recognised internationally as the only 'probably efficacious' internet-based Open-access, online CBT for youth anxiety CBT (ICBT) intervention for childhood anxiety [13]. The program assists young people to develop strategies for identifying and managing anxiety-provoking situations, using youthfriendly, engaging and interactive online sessions.…”
