This research project takes a close look at digital interventions to treat children and adolescents with mental disorders. In a systematic review, it will be investigated how support provided by humans (e.g. therapists, investigators and investigators) in digital interventions differs, for example in terms of scope, goal, type or personalization. Furthermore, it will be examined to what extent these aspects of human support are related to the effectiveness of the respective intervention. To this end, nearly 100 publications on digital interventions for the treatment of mental disorders in children and adolescents will be analyzed.
