PMID: 40324175

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The effects of traditional health-promoting and preventive interventions in mental health and mental health literacy are often attenuated by low adherence and user engagement. Gamified approaches such as serious games (SGs) may be useful to reach and engage youth for mental health prevention and promotion.
