Methods, strategies, and incentives to increase response to mental health surveys among adolescents: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This systematic review aimed to identify effective methods to increase adolescents' response to surveys about mental health and substance use, to improve the quality of survey information.

Methods

We followed a protocol and searched for studies that compared different survey delivery modes to adolescents. Eligible studies reported response rates, mental health score variation per survey mode and participant variations in mental health scores. We searched CENTRAL, PsycINFO, MEDLINE and Scopus in May 2022, and conducted citation searches in June 2022. Two reviewers independently undertook study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessments. Following the assessment of heterogeneity, some studies were pooled using meta-analysis.
