It found that cognitive-behavioral therapy, resilience, mindfulness, and healthy lifestyle interventions may be effective, but the conclusions are limited by the low methodological quality of the included reviews.
The review searched databases from 2000 to 2021 and assessed included reviews using the AMSTAR 2 tool. Evidence suggests that cognitive-behavioral therapy, resilience, mindfulness, and healthy lifestyle interventions can be effective for promoting mental health and well-being. Motivational interviewing may reduce alcohol consumption in young adults. Indicated or selective prevention is likely more cost-effective than universal prevention. However, the methodological quality of the included reviews was generally low or critically low, and substantial heterogeneity existed, requiring cautious interpretation. The review notes limitations such as poor quality in included reviews and potential inclusion of studies with inadequate follow-up, highlighting the need for more rigorous, high-quality primary studies and systematic reviews.
