OBJECTIVE We conducted a systematic literature review of e-mental health technologies in juvenile justice contexts. HYPOTHESES Our exploratory research questions were as follows: First, what types of e-mental health exist for justice-involved youth, their caregivers, and juvenile justice professionals? Second, what are the characteristics of studies that have examined these technologies? Third, what have studies found about the effectiveness, reliability, or validity of e-mental health in treating and assessing juvenile justice populations? And fourth, what advantages and disadvantages exist for e-mental health use in juvenile justice? METHOD We screened 759 articles and retained 36 for review. We included articles that investigated e-mental health for the assessment or treatment of justice-involved youth and their caregivers. We excluded technologies not directly related to assessment or treatment as well as samples of at-risk youth with no justice involvement. RESULTS We identified four types of e-mental health technologies: Interventions with technology-facilitated interpersonal communication (e.g., telehealth and mHealth), digitized intervention programs, simulation games, and computerized assessments. Most study designs were experimental/quasi-experimental or qualitative/descriptive, followed closely by repeated measures/pretest-posttest. A majority of evidence suggested that e-mental health technologies were potentially effective or valid for treatment and assessment, especially telehealth. Advantages included positive opinions of users, increased access to care, and efficiency; disadvantages included barriers to accessing technology, privacy concerns, and lack of clear effectiveness, reliability, or validity data. CONCLUSIONS Although the available evidence for e-mental health for juvenile justice is promising, the current literature base appears generally underdeveloped and nuanced. Worthwhile future directions include continued development of technologies and more rigorously conducted studies to support further implementation of e-mental health for juvenile justice.

评估和对待参与司法的青少年的技术：系统文献综述。

目的 我们对青少年司法背景下的电子心理健康技术进行了系统的文献综述。假设 我们的探索性研究问题如下：首先，对于参与司法的青少年、他们的照顾者和少年司法专业人员来说，存在哪些类型的电子心理健康？其次，检验这些技术的研究有哪些特点？第三，关于电子心理健康在治疗和评估青少年司法群体方面的有效性、可靠性或有效性，研究发现了什么？第四，在青少年司法中使用电子心理健康有哪些优点和缺点？方法 我们筛选了 759 篇文章，保留 36 篇进行审查。我们纳入了调查电子心理健康的文章，以评估或治疗参与正义的青少年及其照顾者。我们排除了与评估或治疗不直接相关的技术，以及没有司法参与的高危青少年样本。结果我们确定了四种类型的电子心理健康技术：技术促进的人际交流干预（例如远程医疗和移动医疗）、数字化干预计划、模拟游戏和计算机化评估。大多数研究设计是实验性/准实验性或定性/描述性的，紧随其后的是重复测量/前测后测。大多数证据表明，电子心理健康技术对于治疗和评估可能有效或有效，尤其是远程医疗。优点包括用户的积极意见、增加获得护理的机会和效率；缺点包括获取技术的障碍、隐私问题以及缺乏明确的有效性、可靠性或有效性数据。结论 虽然青少年司法电子心理健康的现有证据很有希望，但目前的文献基础似乎普遍不发达且细致入微。未来值得关注的方向包括继续开发技术和进行更严格的研究，以支持进一步实施青少年司法电子心理健康。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
