Tobacco and alcohol use continues to be associated with negative health outcomes among adolescents and young adults. New technologies such as text messaging can increase access to substance use interventions and have now been established as an evidence-based, recommended approach towards substance use prevention. This review presents results from a meta-analysis examining the effectiveness of text message interventions for tobacco and alcohol cessation within adolescent and young adult populations. Results from 14 studies with effect sizes are ranging from -0.25 to 0.54. Combining the effect sizes across studies yielded a summary effect size of 0.25, indicating that in general, text interventions have a positive effect on reducing substance use behaviors. Results are discussed in the context of prevention opportunities and recommendations for future text messaging intervention research.
青少年和青年人群中，吸烟和饮酒仍与不良健康后果相关。诸如短信之类的新技术可以增加获得物质使用干预措施的机会，现已被确立为预防物质使用的一种基于证据的推荐方法。本综述展示了一项荟萃分析的结果，该分析考察了短信干预措施在青少年和青年人群中戒烟和戒酒的有效性。14项研究的效应大小在-0.25至0.54之间。综合各项研究的效应大小得出的汇总效应大小为0.25，这表明一般而言，短信干预对减少物质使用行为具有积极作用。将在预防机会的背景下讨论研究结果，并为未来的短信干预研究提出建议。
