Eighty WhatsApp messages were developed, focusing on mental health (n=52, 65%) and alcohol use (n=20, 25%) through a sequence of motivation, instruction, and reinforcement. Following an expert evaluation that simplified technical language, a pilot study with 14 migrants showed a 78.6% completion rate. Participants reported the successful application of emotional management tools and a preference for text-based messages over audiovisual content to conserve mobile data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study describes the development of a psychoeducational program for returning migrants based on coproduction, integrating user needs and expert experience. The intervention addresses emotional management, self-care, and substance use prevention, using WhatsApp for its accessibility and low cost. The pilot results demonstrated high acceptability and a 78.6% retention rate over 16 weeks, highlighting that the culturally sensitive approach and accessible language enabled participants to apply mental health tools autonomously and effectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/83365","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,26]],"date-time":"2026-02-26T18:05:06Z","timestamp":1772129106000},"page":"e83365-e83365","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Text Messaging for Mental Health Promotion With Migrants Returning to Mexico: Content Development and Piloting With a Needs Assessment Approach"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7548-7800","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcela","family":"Tiburcio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6564-8732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah\u00ed","family":"Alan\u00eds Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9009-5255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shoshana","family":"Berenzon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1785-3291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Mondrag\u00f3n G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5835-0789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Elena","family":"Rivera Heredia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","unstructured":"Censo de poblaci\u00f3n y vivienda 2020 [Web page in Spanish].
