Abstract

Problematic Internet use (PIU) preferentially affects youth development, particularly youth with psychiatric conditions. Studies attempting to understand PIU and its impact on adolescent mental health have been limited by cross-sectional design and self-report data. Even with a small sample size, digital phenotyping (DP) methodology can address these limitations through repeated sampling and collection of survey and sensor data through personal smartphones. This study pilots a 6-week DP protocol in 28 youth in mental health treatment in order to assess relationships between PIU, mood symptoms, and daily behaviors like smartphone engagement and daily travel in this high-risk population. Our results found shared associations between depression and PIU, where symptom severity of both worsened in the setting of decreased smartphone engagement. These clinically relevant findings indicate that, rather than uniformly worsening mental health, increased digital engagement may actually provide short-term relief from negative affect in youth with psychiatric comorbidities.
