Forthcoming call - draft
Research and Innovation Action.

Proposals should aim to generate robust scientific evidence on the impact of digital technologies, as well as develop and test context-specific digital interventions that promote the positive and responsible use of them to improve mental health, avoiding the development or exacerbation of mental disorders.

The topic is open to address any mental disorder caused or aggravated by the use of digital technologies such as addiction, self-harm behaviour, increased anxiety or decreased self esteem, sleeping-disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders.

This topic requires the effective involvement of social sciences and humanities experts.
