BACKGROUND: Adolescents are at particularly high risk for digital technology overuse, including in response to the COVID pandemic, and are therefore vulnerable for its potential harmful effects on mental health. Problematic usage of the internet (PUI) is thought to represent a marker of disrupted self-management, with major consequences for individual and societal health and wellbeing. AIM: Bootstrap brings together a multidisciplinary consortium aiming to initiate health and social policy and practice change designed to reduce the harmful effects of digitalization on mental health, particularly for young people. APPROACH: We will co-create a digital screening and assessment platform to understand which individuals are at-risk for developing PUI. Algorithm-based models will be used to predict which individual will benefit from which type of self-management intervention, and these preventative behavioral interventions will be tested for their (cost)effectiveness. Finally, we will develop a policy toolkit in co-design with stakeholders, to promote human digital rights accountability at the local, national, and European level. IMPACT: Bootstrap will provide unprecedented scientific knowledge on the psychological mechanisms underlying (risk for) PUI and potential interventions. Improved self-management and tools to optimize healthy internet usage will promote mental health and prevent mental ill health in adolescents, and contribute to reducing stigma. In addition, our policy toolkit will empower policy makers and private companies to (self)regulate with the intent to protect vulnerable groups. In the long run, Bootstrap will thus contribute to improving mental wellbeing across Europe and beyond.

背景：青少年过度使用数字技术的风险特别高，包括应对COVID大流行，因此容易受到其对心理健康的潜在有害影响。有问题的互联网使用(PUI)被认为是自我管理中断的标志，对个人和社会的健康和福祉造成重大后果。目的：Bootstrap汇集了一个多学科联盟，旨在发起旨在减少数字化对心理健康的有害影响，特别是对年轻人的有害影响的卫生和社会政策和实践变革。方法：我们将共同创建一个数字筛查和评估平台，以了解哪些人有患PUI的风险。基于算法的模型将被用来预测哪个个体将从哪种类型的自我管理干预中受益，并将测试这些预防性行为干预的(成本)有效性。最后，我们将开发一个与利益攸关方共同设计的政策工具包，以促进地方、国家和欧洲层面的人权数字权利问责。影响：BOOTSTRAP将提供有关PUI潜在(风险)的心理机制和潜在干预措施的前所未有的科学知识。改善自我管理和优化健康互联网使用的工具将促进青少年的心理健康和预防心理疾病，并有助于减少耻辱。此外，我们的政策工具包将使政策制定者和私营公司能够(自我)监管，目的是保护弱势群体。从长远来看，Bootstrap将因此为改善整个欧洲和其他地区的精神福祉做出贡献。
