Incorporating community voices during the development process is essential to ensure SSIs are contextually relevant in pediatric populations. Two illustrative SSIs currently in development within pediatric psychology are described: (1) an intervention supporting adolescent siblings of children with cancer and (2) a program targeting depression in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Both examples incorporate input from key community members, underscoring the value of participatory design in enhancing intervention relevance and impact.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SSIs offer a brief and scalable strategy to help address gaps in psychological care, particularly for youth and families with limited access to services. Pediatric psychologists are well positioned to develop, evaluate, and implement SSIs across diverse populations and intervention targets. Ensuring the effectiveness, equity, and sustainability of SSIs will require ongoing collaboration with community partners and integration across pediatric care settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/jpepsy\/jsag033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,9]],"date-time":"2026-04-09T11:49:14Z","timestamp":1775735354000},"page":"717-723","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Small but mighty: how can pediatric psychologists harness the power of digital single-session interventions?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2194-111X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christina M","family":"Amaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute , New Brunswick, NJ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1492-5074","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra D","family":"Monzon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Healthcare Delivery Science, Nemours Children\u2019s Health , Orlando, FL,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0508-1693","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melissa A","family":"Alderfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Healthcare Delivery Science, Nemours Children\u2019s Health , Wilmington, DE,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University , Philadelphia, PA,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0811-4961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kimberly S","family":"Canter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Healthcare Delivery Science, Nemours Children\u2019s Health , Wilmington, DE,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University , Philadelphia, PA,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-2028-7992","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Amylon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hematology\/Oncology\/Stem Cell Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine, School of Medicine, Stanford University , Stanford, CA,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Fooks-Parker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oncology, The Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia , Philadelphia, PA,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2426-1953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica L","family":"Schleider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Social Sciences, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University , Chicago, IL,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8902-6965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susana R","family":"Patton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Healthcare Delivery Science, Nemours Children\u2019s Health , Jacksonville, FL,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1003-8905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katie A","family":"Devine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers Cancer Institute , New Brunswick, NJ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026082511141039900_jsag033-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1007\/s12519-021-00485-2","article-title":"Prevalence of depression and anxiety among children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"18","author":"Akbarizadeh","year":"2022","journal-title":"World Journal of Pediatrics: WJP"},{"key":"2026082511141039900_jsag033-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e70192","DOI":"10.1002\/1545-5017.70192","article-title":"Exploring preferences for a digital single-session intervention for adolescent siblings of youth with cancer","volume":"73","author":"Amaro","year":"2026","journal-title":"Pediatric Blood & Cancer"},{"key":"2026082511141039900_jsag033-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S283","DOI":"10.2337\/dc25-S014","article-title":"14.
