Mental health interventions for young people delivered through social media: Protocol for a scoping review

Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this scoping review is to identify and review empirical research on social media-based interventions aimed at improving mental health conditions in adolescents and young adults. Sincesocial media is a consistently evolving term, a secondary objective of this review is to identify thequalities of platforms labeled as social media. We limit the scope of interventions to those that are entirely, or mostly, delivered through social media and to studies examining the intentional implementation of a mental health intervention (excluding naturalistic intervention, peer support).
