E-mental health programmes have great potential to provide young people with access to mental health support. However, it is commonly reported that adherence to these programmes is low. Low adherence can be problematic, particularly if young people do not receive the full benefits of a programme. In a research trial setting, non-adherence to treatment recommendations can prevent researchers from drawing strong conclusions about effectiveness. Although adherence has been recognised as an issue in need of attention, many of the reviews available are focused on adults and lack clear direction towards what strategies to employ. This paper presents a broad review of the adherence literature, focusing on factors associated with improving adherence to e-mental health among youth. Our view on the key elements to improve adherence identified from the existing literature are presented, and key recommendations for e-mental health intervention design are provided. These include: developing and communicating adherence guidelines based on individuals' needs and symptom severity, including customisable features to provide a tailored experience and promote a sense of agency, including engagement checks and adopting a user-centred approach by utilising strategies such as co-design. This paper provides guidance to intervention designers and researchers by outlining recommendations and considerations for intervention development and research design.

Background: Many efforts to increase the uptake of e-mental health (eMH) have failed due to a lack of knowledge and skills, particularly among professionals. To train health care professionals in technology, serious gaming concepts such as educational escape rooms are increasingly used, which could also possibly be used in mental health care. However, such serious-game concepts are scarcely available for eMH training for mental health care professionals.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the use of continuous video-electroencephalography (cEEG) to detect seizures in infants and children in a cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU), emphasizing symptoms and risk factors that led to cEEG evaluations.
- Among 605 cEEGs performed over 38 months, seizures were found in 9% of cases, with a significantly higher detection rate (30%) when both vital sign and non-vital sign symptoms were present, while isolated vital sign changes did not yield any seizures.
- The results indicated that certain symptoms (like gaze deviation and abnormal limb movements) and risk factors (like preexisting epilepsy and recent neuroscience surgeries) were linked to a higher likelihood of seizure detection, highlighting

While research on blended therapy (BT), i.e. the combination of face-to-face and digital treatment, has grown rapidly, integrating BT into routine practice remains limited, especially in inpatient settings.

The opportunities technology offers for improving mental health have led to a surge in digital interventions. A pivotal step in the development of such interventions involves translating theoretical intervention techniques into specific technological features. However, practical guidelines on how to approach this translation are currently underdeveloped.

Objectives: Prior research indicated that diverse work experiences in early and middle life stages are associated with cognitive function in later life. However, whether life course patterns of work history are associated with later life cognitive function in China remains unknown.
Methods: Data were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, and 5,800 participants aged 60 years or older were included.
