This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of mobile\u2010based CBT for this population. We conducted a systematic search across six electronic databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of mobile\u2010based CBT interventions for children and young people (aged 5\u201325\u2009years) with anxiety or depression symptoms. The primary outcomes were changes in anxiety and depression symptoms. Nine RCTs (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20092479 participants) were included. Compared with control conditions, seven of eight studies (87.5%) examining depression outcomes demonstrated significant reductions in depression symptoms. However, evidence for anxiety symptoms reduction was limited, with only two of six studies (33.3%) showing significant effects. The feasibility of mobile\u2010based CBT apps was moderate to high. Mobile\u2010delivered CBT demonstrates promising effectiveness for treating depressive symptoms in children and young people, though evidence for anxiety treatment remains limited. These accessible interventions may help address current gaps in mental health service delivery for children and young people, particularly in resource\u2010constrained settings.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.70173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]],"date-time":"2025-11-28T04:33:02Z","timestamp":1764304382000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effectiveness of Mobile\u2010Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Depression and Anxiety in Children and Young People: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1187-2464","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhang","family":"Qiaochu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Work, United College The Chinese University of Hong Kong  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9354-8507","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wang","family":"Yahui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Behavioural Sciences City University of Hong Kong  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0258493"},{"volume-title":"Depression: Clinical, Experimental, and Theoretical Aspects","year":"1967","author":"Beck A.
