Digital technologies present tremendous opportunities for enabling long-term measurement of mental health in the general population. Emerging studies have established preliminary efficacy of collecting self-report data digitally. However, a key challenge when developing a new self-report instrument is navigating the abundance of existing instruments to select relevant constructs for measurements. This review is a precursor to developing a novel future integrated digital instrument for repeated measurements. We interrogate the literature as the first step towards optimal measurement of the multifaceted mental health concept, in the context of digital repeated measurement. This review aims to identify (1) digital self-report instruments administered repeatedly to measure the mental health of the general adult population; (2) their structure and format; (3) their psychometric properties; (4) their usage in empirical studies; and (5) the constructs these instruments were designed to measure (as characterised in the original publication), and the constructs the instruments have been used to measure in the identified empirical studies.
Five major electronic databases will be searched. Studies administering mental health instruments (in English) repeatedly to community dwellers in the general adult population are eligible. A reviewer will preliminarily screen for eligible studies. Then, two reviewers will independently screen the full text of the eligible articles and extract data. Both reviewers will resolve any disagreement through discussion or with a third reviewer. After the data extraction, a reviewer will manually search for the structure, format, psychometric properties and the original constructs these instruments were developed to measure. This review will synthesise the results in a narrative approach. The reporting in this review will be guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist.
Ethical approval is not required as no data will be collected. Findings of the systematic review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

数字技术为在普通人群中进行长期心理健康测量带来了巨大的机会。新兴研究已经证实了数字化收集自我报告数据的初步效果。然而，当开发新的自我报告工具时，一个关键挑战是在众多现有工具中进行导航，以选择用于测量的相关结构。本综述是开发新的未来综合数字工具进行重复测量的前奏。我们在数字重复测量的背景下，对文献进行了审查，作为对多方面心理健康概念进行最佳测量的第一步。本综述旨在确定：（1）用于重复测量普通成年人群体心理健康的数字自我报告工具；（2）它们的结构和格式；（3）它们的心理测量特性；（4）它们在实证研究中的使用情况；（5）这些工具旨在测量的结构（在原始出版物中描述），以及这些工具在确定的实证研究中已用于测量的结构。
将在五个主要的电子数据库中进行搜索。符合条件的研究是指使用英文向普通成年社区居民重复管理心理健康工具的研究。一名审查员将对符合条件的研究进行初步筛选。然后，两名审查员将独立筛选合格文章的全文并提取数据。两名审查员将通过讨论或第三名审查员解决任何分歧。在数据提取后，审查员将手动搜索这些工具的结构、格式、心理测量特性以及最初开发这些工具以测量的结构。本综述将以叙述的方式综合结果。本综述的报告将遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目清单。
由于不收集数据，因此不需要伦理批准。系统评价的结果将通过同行评审出版物和会议演示进行传播。
