Abstract	Electronic mentoring, also known as e-mentoring, is the practice of using digital technology to facilitate mentoring relationships. It has been increasingly popular in recent times. However, there has been no comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of e-mentoring in addressing youth health issues. The present study conducts a systematic review and evidence quality assessment to analyse the impact of e-mentoring on the health and well-being of youth aged 10-24 years. Out of the 833 records that were found, only 14 matched the eligibility criteria. These criteria included being published in English since 1995, targeting adolescent health and/or youth with health difficulties, and having communication that was fully digital or integrated with in-person engagement. The findings indicated that most studies on health-focused e-mentoring mostly focused on young individuals with pre-existing health concerns, rather than exploring the application of e-mentoring to enhance general health and well-being. The programs provided mostly focused on implementing mentoring for specific groups of young people who may face difficulties with traditional face-to-face models. The quality assessments of the studies included in the analysis indicated that the strength of the evidence is of moderate quality. The results indicate that e-mentoring can reach young individuals with specific health issues and encourage them to independently manage their health conditions as they transition into adulthood. Nevertheless, it is necessary to conduct more thorough evaluations of e-mentoring programs with bigger groups of participants.
