Tiivistelmä

How can we effectively promote adolescents’ mental health? Despite the serious consequences of adolescent mental health problems, services tailored for adolescents are scarce. The fact that mental health and related problems tend to co-occur, calls for a universal psychological treatment, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). For adolescents, who spend more time on the web than other age groups, technology and mobile devices offer a flexible and powerful tool and provide new opportunities to enhance the delivery of mental health services. The present proposal suggests a new electronic and individually tailored psychological intervention iACT to promote adolescents’ mental health and successful educational transitions. This proposal will a) apply artificial intelligence (AI) to obtain novel understanding of what kind of adolescents benefit from technology-based psychological interventions (iACT) and subsequently tailor iACT to adolescents’ individual needs, b) carry out randomized control trial (n=240) to investigate effectiveness of individually tailored iACT including comparing efficacy of iACT with iCoach providing automated personal support and iACT with both iCoach and HumanCoach providing personal support and c) investigate whether the effectiveness of the individually tailored iACT varies according to different individual and contextual factors. Scientific breakthroughs are expected by answering “burning questions”:
