Background: Digital phenotyping (DP) for mental health is an emerging field with the potential to become a powerful tool in clinical settings. However, given the risk of bias or incorrect variable interpretation in marginalized subgroups, for this technology to be used effectively, social determinants of health (SDH) must be integrated into DP research. However it is not known how commonly and in what manner SDH are integrated into DP research. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies applying DP in mental health populations to examine how SDH variables are collected, reported, and integrated. The primary objective was to inform the development of practical, standardized guidelines for incorporating SDH into DP research. Eligible studies used DP in clinical populations defined as diagnosed, symptom-based, or at risk for mental health conditions. We excluded studies focused solely on chronic physical illness, age as a risk indicator, neurodegenerative conditions, or tobacco-only substance use, as well as reviews, protocols, and conceptual papers. We searched PubMed, Embase (OVID), and APA PsycInfo (OVID) on october 4th 2024, Web of Science Core Collection on October 23rd 2024, and Scopus on October 24th, 2024. Studies were assessed for quality using the JBI Checklist and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
