Summary
This 2022 systematic review synthesised evidence from randomised controlled trials evaluating digital mental health interventions for anxiety and depression in university students during COVID-19. The review examined multiple delivery modalities—including app-based, web-based, and telehealth approaches—as scalable alternatives to in-person counselling during campus isolation. The review likely assessed comparative effectiveness and practical viability of remote delivery models, though specific effect sizes and detailed modality comparisons are not confirmed in available metadata.
Regional applicability
The study's focus on university student populations and remote mental health delivery during COVID-19 has potential relevance to United Kingdom higher education contexts; however, without access to the full text, applicability to UK-specific institutional infrastructure and student demographics cannot be confirmed.
Key measures
Efficacy of digital mental health interventions; anxiety and depression symptom reduction; comparative effectiveness across delivery modalities
Outcomes reported
The study systematically reviewed the efficacy of digital mental health interventions (app-based, web-based, telehealth) for reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
