Using Music to Promote Hong Kong Young People’s Emotion Regulation and Reduce Their Mood Symptoms and Loneliness: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Using Music to Promote Hong Kong Young People’s Emotion Regulation and Reduce Their Mood Symptoms and Loneliness: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Studies have reported that the prevalence of depression and anxiety among adolescents is approximately 11.3% locally [1]. Loneliness is also widespread among young people in Hong Kong, occurring at a higher rate than that reported for their counterparts in North America [2]. Around 39% of young people in Hong Kong reported feeling lonely—an increase of 55% from 2012 to 2018 [3]. Furthermore, the prevalence of loneliness rose to 47% among adolescents and young adults in 2020 due to the pandemic [4].

Virtual Reality Respiratory Biofeedback in an Outpatient Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Program: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

Virtual Reality Respiratory Biofeedback in an Outpatient Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Program: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

Given the risks associated with these medications and the misuse of prescription opioids among children and adolescents in the United States, it is imperative to advance nonpharmacological interventions for pain [5,6]. Currently, nonpharmacological treatment for chronic pain in adolescents often involves a multidisciplinary approach encompassing pain education, psychological interventions, integrative medicine (mind-body techniques), and physical and occupational therapies [7,8].

Adapting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents in Iraq via Mobile Apps: Qualitative Study of Usability and Outcomes

Adapting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents in Iraq via Mobile Apps: Qualitative Study of Usability and Outcomes

Despite the promise of mobile CBT apps, there remains a significant research gap regarding their usability and effectiveness for adolescents [29,30]. Most existing studies focus on adult populations or general app evaluations without considering younger users’ unique needs and preferences [31,32]. Adolescents may have different expectations for user experience, engagement, and motivation when interacting with digital health tools [33,34].

Adolescent Self-Reflection Process Through Self-Recording on Multiple Health Metrics: Qualitative Study

Adolescent Self-Reflection Process Through Self-Recording on Multiple Health Metrics: Qualitative Study

Adolescents’ behavioral patterns can significantly impact their health and increase the risk of developing chronic diseases in adulthood [10,46]. Addressing these behaviors is crucial, as they often co-occur and emerge during adolescence [8,47-49]. A study on overweight or obese adolescents revealed clinically significant weight loss achieved by self-recording dietary actions [50].

How do adolescents prefer to seek help and be supported by their parents in this? How do adolescents navigate a prototype of the digital platform and content? What are the families’ initial impressions of the platform and content while in treatment?

Perspectives of Adolescents and Young Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease on a Biopsychosocial Transition Intervention: Qualitative Interview Study

The transition from the pediatric to the adult health care system can be a complex period for adolescents and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their families [1]. In adult care, adolescents and young adults are expected to self-advocate, communicate with providers, understand their health history, and manage their health with greater independence [2,3].

Facilitators and Barriers to Digital Mental Health Interventions for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in Adolescents and Young Adults: Scoping Review

DMHIs offer several advantages and have strong potential to become widely adopted service options, particularly for adolescents and young adults (AYAs). First, DMHIs align with the digital era and are well-suited to the new generation, who are familiar with, comfortable using, and frequent users of the web, digital media, and screen devices. According to the International Telecommunication Union’s Facts and Figures 2023, 79% of people aged 15-24 years use the internet globally [11].

Investigating the Magnitude and Persistence of COVID-19–Related Impacts on Affect and GPS-Derived Daily Mobility Patterns in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: Insights From a Smartphone-Based Intensive Longitudinal Study of Colorado-Based Youths From June 2016 to April 2022

Youths (ie, late adolescents and emerging adults) in particular faced unique stressors during the pandemic, most notably disruptions to developmental milestones, such as transitioning into college or the workforce, peer group formation, and parental separation [3-5], often with significant impacts on their mental health, including increases in rates of self-reported anxiety and depression symptoms [6-8].
