Unlabelled: Concerns regarding the potential negative impacts of digital technology use on youth mental health and well-being are high. However, most studies have several methodological limitations: relying on cross-sectional designs and retrospective reports, assessing technology use as an omnibus construct, and focusing on between- instead of within-person comparisons. This study addresses these limitations by prospectively following young adolescents ( = 388) over a 14-day ecological momentary assessment study to test whether adolescents' digital technology use is linked with self-reported emotional dysregulation and self-esteem and whether these relationships are stronger for adolescent girls than boys.

Background: People with disabilities face many health, economic and social disparities. Loneliness is recognized as a significant issue for this group however, its impact on students with disabilities (SWDs) remains a critically underexplored area of research. Importantly, as higher education continues its transition to the digital space, the potential to entrench social isolation and loneliness within this population has not been examined.

In recent years, digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) have emerged as a paradigm shift in care delivery that could expand the scale, efficiency, and effectiveness of psychological services. However, DMHI impact is constrained by issues related to limited reach, poor adoption, implementation barriers, and insufficient long-term maintenance. Organized by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance(RE-AIM) framework, this paper surveys the current state of DMHIs, highlighting research and practice gaps as well as potential strategies to move the field forward.

Objective: Loneliness is a global health issue, but current loneliness interventions are not scalable enough to reach many who might benefit from them. Brief online interventions could greatly expand access to evidence-based loneliness interventions.

Method: We conducted a preregistered three-armed trial ( = 908, ages 16-78) to compare three self-guided online interventions: a single-session intervention (SSI) for loneliness, a 3-week, three-session intervention for loneliness, and an active control supportive therapy SSI (https://ClinicalTrials.

Background: Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common age-related neurocognitive pathology after Alzheimer's disease. Animal models characterizing this disease are lacking and their development would ameliorate both the understanding of neuropathological mechanisms underlying DLB as well as the efficacy of pre-clinical studies tackling this disease.

Methods: We performed extensive phenotypic characterization of a transgenic mouse model overexpressing, most prominently in the dorsal hippocampus (DH) and frontal cortex (FC), wild-type form of the human α-synuclein gene (mThy1-hSNCA, 12 to 14-month-old males).

Human computer interaction (HCI) and implementation science (IS) each have been applied to improve the adoption and delivery of innovative health interventions, and the two fields have complementary goals, foci, and methods. While the IS community increasingly draws on methods from HCI, there are many unrealized opportunities for HCI to draw from IS and to catalyze bidirectional collaborations. This workshop will explore similarities and differences between fields, with a goal of articulating a research agenda at their intersection.
