Commentary: Let'S Get Digital: A Commentary On Halldorsson Et Al.'S Call For More Rigorous Development And Evaluation Of Immersive Digital Interventions For Children And Young People'S Mental Health

In the JCPP Annual Research Review for 2021, Halldorsson and colleagues (2021) present a systematic review of applied games and virtual reality interventions for treating mental health problems in children and young people, looking at the effectiveness of interventions upon mental health outcomes but also on the experience of using such interventions. In this commentary, we highlight a number of considerations in understanding what research has been achieved so far, and ideas for what needs to be looked at next in further advancing this field.
