Moore DA, Nunns M, Shaw L, et al. Health Technol Assess. 2019 May;23(22):1-164. doi: 10.3310/hta23220. (Systematic review)
This systematic review of 25 randomised controlled trials found limited evidence for interventions to improve the mental health of children and young people with long-term physical conditions. Echoing the findings of a recent Cochrane review, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT)-based interventions were found to have the greatest effect. These findings are limited by the low quality of included studies.
