Abstract	Despite a robust field of study in healthy romantic relationship education and risk prevention interventions that employ traditional forms of delivery, the field of digital health interventions (DHIs) in healthy relationship programming for adolescents remains undefined. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize the scope of published research in DHIs that promote healthy romantic relationships in adolescents. We conducted database searches, 2000-2022; hand searches; reference list and literature review searches, and emailed study authors to identify articles. Included were experimental, development, and feasibility studies. We summarized features of selected studies and their healthy relationship aims/components and identified patterns of emphasis and areas of future need. Sixteen publications describing 15 unique DHIs were reviewed with interventions developed and or trialed in 11 countries. We identified 10 web-based or downloadable applications, four serious game applications, one video-voice program, and one social media-based program. DHIs focused on improving knowledge/attitudes/skills of healthy adolescent romantic relationships directly or through prevention-focused programs. Interventions that measured outcomes found small effects, primarily in healthy romantic relationship communication skills. DHIs offer unique opportunities to provide user-responsive and culturally specified programming for adolescents and to involve adolescents themselves in processes of program design, development, and evaluation. Further research is warranted to define relevant outcomes for adolescents and validated measures to evaluate them. Future research might seek to address the social ecology of adolescent romantic relationships beyond the individual and interpersonal and explore combinations of virtual and adult-moderated in-person delivery to ensure youth are adequately supported.
