Note. The search terms ‘eHealth’ and ‘mHealth’ were based on WHO’s recommendations for technology-based health research between 2010 and 2019. For adolescent development, we focused on eHealth/mHealth review articles that examined broader applications of technology in promoting adolescents’ development, social, emotional, and general physical health literacy/skills/competency, as well eHealth/mHealth review articles focused on design strategies to promote engagement in using technology solutions in general adolescent health. We excluded articles focused on mental disorders, chronic diseases, or medical interventions gave the special needs (anxiety and depression, suicidal intervention, diet/physical activity/weight management, tuberculosis treatment). For GBV literature, we included ‘IPV’ and ‘dating violence’ search terms because these terms are more commonly used in the adolescent literature. In addition, we included review studies targeting any age group because no digital health review paper targets adolescents specifically (most studies include small subgroups of adolescents, and do not examine age differential impacts)
