Substance use disorders (SUDs) have an enormous negative impact on individuals, families, and society as a whole. Most individuals with SUDs do not receive treatment because of the limited availability of treatment providers, costs, inflexible work schedules, required treatment-related time commitments, and other hurdles. A paradigm shift in the provision of SUD treatments is currently underway. Indeed, with rapid technological advances, novel mobile health (mHealth) interventions can now be downloaded and accessed by those that need them anytime and anywhere. Nevertheless, the development and evaluation process for mHealth interventions for SUDs is still in its infancy. This review provides a critical appraisal of the significant literature in the field of mHealth interventions for SUDs with a particular emphasis on interventions for understudied and underserved populations. We also discuss the mHealth intervention development process, intervention optimization, and important remaining questions.

物质使用障碍的移动健康干预


物质使用障碍 （SUD） 对个人、家庭和整个社会都有巨大的负面影响。大多数患有 SUD 的人没有接受治疗，因为治疗提供者的可用性有限、费用、不灵活的工作时间表、所需的与治疗相关的时间承诺和其他障碍。目前正在进行 SUD 治疗提供的范式转变。事实上，随着技术的快速进步，需要的人现在可以随时随地下载和访问新型移动医疗 （mHealth） 干预措施。尽管如此，针对 SUD 的 mHealth 干预措施的开发和评估过程仍处于起步阶段。本综述对 SUD 移动健康干预领域的重要文献进行了批判性评价，特别强调了对研究不足和服务不足人群的干预。我们还讨论了 mHealth 干预开发过程、干预优化和重要的剩余问题。
