What was done for youths aged 15 to 24 around the world? A systematic review of worldwide mental health interventions.

ABSTRACT: The global prevalence of mental health disorders among youths aged 15 to 24 is a significant public health concern. This systematic review aimed to explore global strategies for promoting mental well-being and addressing mental health challenges within this demographic, as defined by the World Health Organization. A comprehensive search of electronic scientific databases was conducted on November 1, 2023, yielding 43 studies with a total of 29,581 participants published between 2008 and 2023 that examined mental health interventions targeting youth. This review identified heterogeneity across multiple dimensions including modes and modalities of intervention delivery, conceptualisations of mental health, measurement tools and implementation settings.
