Substance abuse in young adults is a public health issue with costs to the individual and society. There is mounting evidence that the increased uses of mHealth approaches have promise as a way to facilitate reductions in substance use. This systematic review evaluated the recent body of research on mHealth-based interventions for substance use, with aims of (a) examining the functionality and effectiveness of these interventions, (b) evaluating the available research on the effectiveness of these interventions for substance use, and (c) evaluating the design, methodology, results, theoretical grounding, limitations, and implications of each study. We identified eligible studies by searching electronic databases using Boolean methods. The reviewed studies (N = 12) indicated that that a wide range of Internet-based, text messaging, and smartphone application interventions have been developed to address substance use. Interventions had an assortment of features; participants in each study highlighted the ease and convenience of the interventions; and the majority of studies provided support for the efficacy of mHealth in reducing substance use. Mobile technology is a promising tool for reducing substance use and warrants further development. Future practice including the use of mHealth interventions can be an integral part of reducing substance use.
年轻人的药物滥用是一个涉及个人和社会成本的公共卫生问题。越来越多的证据表明，移动健康方法使用的增加有望成为减少药物使用的一种方式。本系统评价评估了最近关于基于移动健康的药物使用干预措施的研究，目的是：(a) 检查这些干预措施的功能和有效性；(b) 评估这些干预措施对药物使用有效性的现有研究；(c) 评估每项研究的设计、方法、结果、理论基础、局限性和意义。我们使用布尔方法通过搜索电子数据库来确定符合条件的研究。经审查的研究（N = 12）表明，已经开发了各种基于互联网、短信和智能手机应用程序的干预措施来解决药物使用问题。干预措施具有多种功能；每项研究的参与者都强调了干预措施的简便性和便利性；大多数研究支持移动健康在减少药物使用方面的功效。移动技术是减少药物使用的一个有前途的工具，值得进一步开发。包括使用移动健康干预措施在内的未来实践可以成为减少药物使用不可或缺的一部分。
