Abstract: Smartphone applications (‘apps’) have the potential to improve the scalability of mental health interventions for young people, however, the effectiveness of stand-alone apps in mental health management remains unclear. This systematic review, with meta-analysis, provides an up-to-date summary of the available high-quality evidence.
