Актуальность. Подростковый и молодой возраст являются ключевыми этапами для возникновения психических расстройств и формирования моделей поведения, связанных со здоровьем. Плохое психическое состояние в этот период может серьезно повлиять на шансы молодого человека в дальнейшей жизни и оказать значительное негативное влияние на физическое здоровье, образование и трудоустройство в более позднем возрасте. При этом ухудшение психического здоровья у молодых людей, особенно у учащихся, наблюдается в глобальном масштабе. Данные проблемы вносят значительный вклад в показатели инвалидности во всем мире и создают высокое экономическое бремя. Поэтому подростки и молодые люди являются важной группой, нуждающейся в срочной профилактике плохого психического здоровья. Однако успешное внедрение программ психологической поддержки остается сложной задачей из-за недооценки влияния стресса со стороны молодежи, а также ограниченной доступности вариантов терапии и ее высокой стоимости. Цифровые методы здравоохранения, такие как приложения для смартфонов, потенциально могут решить данную проблему. Материалы и методы. В настоящем обзоре описаны современные работы, посвященные изучению мобильных приложений для улучшения психического здоровья молодых людей, использующих научно обоснованные методы, и доказавшие их высокую эффективность в надежных, хорошо спланированных рандомизированных контролируемых исследованиях. Результаты. Представленная информация может помочь в создании и совершенствовании цифровых технологий для улучшения психического здоровья молодых людей.

Background. Adolescence and young adulthood are key stages for the onset of mental disorders and health-related behaviors. Poor mental health during this period can seriously affect a young person’s chances in later life and have a significant negative impact on physical health, education and employment in later life. Meanwhile, the deterioration of mental health in young people, especially students, is observed on a global scale. These problems significantly contribute to disability rates worldwide and create a high economic burden. Therefore, adolescents and young adults are an important group in urgent need of preventing poor mental health. However, successful implementation of psychological support programs remains challenging due to limited availability of treatment options, high costs, and the underestimation of the impact of youth stress. Digital health methods, such as smartphone apps, have the potential to address this issue. Materials and methods. This review describes current work examining mobile apps for improving mental health in young people that use evidence-based methods and have been shown to be highly effective in robust, well-designed randomized controlled trials. Results. The information presented can help develop and perfect digital technologies for improving mental health in young people.
