Just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) show promise for adolescent and young adult substance use, demonstrating feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy in reducing substance use. Further research is needed to refine JITAI definitions and optimize engagement strategies.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Behavioral Science
- Adolescent Medicine
Background:
- Substance use among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) remains a significant public health concern.
- Existing interventions often face challenges with engagement and real-world applicability for this demographic.
- Just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) offer a novel approach by delivering personalized support at critical moments.
Conclusions:
- JITAIs appear feasible and acceptable for addressing substance use in AYAs.
- Current research on JITAIs for AYA substance use is underdeveloped.
- Future research should focus on defining JITAIs consistently, exploring efficacy moderators, and enhancing engagement strategies to improve adherence.
