Area of Science:

  • Digital health interventions
  • Adolescent mental health
  • Psychosocial interventions

Background:

  • Evidence-based psychosocial interventions and health information are crucial for adolescent depression treatment and prevention.
  • Digital technologies and psychoeducational interventions can enhance engagement, self-management, and social support for young people.
  • Few digital psychoeducational interventions for adolescent depression are rigorously developed and evaluated according to research guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential impact of MoodHwb, a theory-informed, co-designed digital intervention program for adolescent depression.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach using quantitative and qualitative data was employed.
  • Adolescents at risk of depression, their parents/carers, and professionals were recruited from various services.
  • Data collection included questionnaires, web usage monitoring, interviews, and focus groups, analyzed thematically.

Main Results:

  • The MoodHwb program was found to be engaging, user-friendly, and comprehensive, with potential for integration into existing services.
  • Young people and parents/carers reported positive experiences, particularly with the "Self help" and "Mood monitor" features.
  • Initial evidence suggests improved depression literacy among young people and their carers after using the intervention.

Conclusions:

  • The MoodHwb digital intervention and its assessment process are feasible and acceptable for early intervention in adolescent depression.
  • The program shows potential to benefit young people, families, and carers across health, education, and youth services.
  • A randomized controlled trial is necessary to further validate the effectiveness of the MoodHwb digital program.
