Internet- and mobile-based anxiety and depression interventions for children and adolescents: efficacy and negative effects - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mental disorders, most commonly anxiety disorders and fourth most common depression, are prevalent in children and adolescents. Internet- and mobile-based interventions might represent a scalable approach to improve mental health care, however, evidence so far is inconclusive and systematic reports...

      ab: Mental disorders, most commonly anxiety disorders and fourth most common depression, are prevalent in children and adolescents. Internet- and mobile-based interventions might represent a scalable approach to improve mental health care, however, evidence so far is inconclusive and systematic reports on negative effects are missing. Four data-bases were searched for randomized controlled trials evaluating internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) targeting anxiety disorders or depression in children and adolescents up to 18 years exhibiting clinically relevant symptoms. Meta-analytic evaluations were conducted in comparison to active and passive control groups, furthermore, pre-defined sub-groups were explored and reported negative effects examined. Pooled estimates showed a moderate positive effect for IMIs targeting anxiety disorders compared to passive control groups (g = -0.69; CI -0.94 to -0.45; k = 8; n = 559; p ≤ 0,001), but not for depression. Pooled estimates compared to active control groups remained non-significant. Subgroup analyses were largely omitted due to an insufficient number of trials or were non-significant. Negative effects were mainly reported as drop-out rates and (non)-response rates, while additional negative effects, such as deterioration rates or the development of additional symptoms, were reported by only one third of included studies. The focus on children and adolescents with clinically relevant symptoms allowed the present findings to complement previous work, however, the limited amount of trials hindered many planned comparisons. The overview of reported negative effects highlighted that negative effects are being neglected in the majority of RCTs. Hence, in the future RCTs should include more information about potential negative effects, at best a combination of quantitative and qualitative information. Open Science Framework (osf.io/ch5nj).
