Objective:

To investigate the proximal effects of initiating ecological momentary intervention (EMI) components on mental well-being outcomes among youth in the context of a microrandomized study.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Initiating EMI components was associated with immediate positive effects on mental well-being outcomes.
    • EMIs can be seamlessly integrated into daily routines, which may enhance resilience and mitigate negative affect.
    Interpretation:

    The study seeks to clarify the immediate benefits of EMI components on youth mental health, particularly during challenging circumstances.

    Limitations:
    • The analysis relies on secondary data, which may limit the comprehensiveness of the insights.
    • Further research is necessary to validate the efficacy of individual EMI components.
    Conclusion:

    Understanding the proximal effects of EMI components could enhance the design and effectiveness of digital mental health interventions for youth.
