Introduction:
Internet-based and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) provide innovative low-threshold and cost-effective prevention and self-management options for mental health problems complementary to standard treatment. The objective of this systematic review is to summarise the effectiveness and to critically evaluate studies on IMIs addressing comorbid depressive symptoms in adults with overweight or obesity.
Methods And Analysis:
The study authors will systematically search the databases MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Embase and Google Scholar (for grey literature) for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of IMIs for individuals with overweight or obesity and comorbid depressive symptoms without restrictions on publication date (planned inception 1 June 2023 to 1 December 2023). Two reviewers will independently extract and evaluate data from studies eligible for inclusion by assessing quality of evidence and qualitatively synthesising results. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards and the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool in RCTs (RoB 2) will be applied.
Ethics And Dissemination:
Ethical approval is not required as no primary data will be collected. Study results will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presentations on conferences.
