E-health applications are effective. However, challenges to their uptake amongst youth need to be investigated. This paper aims to explore the barriers to the use of these programs by young people and the methods by which these barriers might be overcome.
Qualitative review of research literature.
Barriers to the use of these programs included the difficulty in engaging young people in their use, perceptions that the programs have low adherence, and clinician concerns about their value, effectiveness and safety. Evidence to date suggests that more research is needed to understand the reasons more young people do not engage with them. However, adherence rates are reasonable when properly benchmarked and the applications can be appropriately implemented in clinical and educational settings.
Optimal methods for implementing these applications will require further targeted research.
电子健康应用是有效的。然而,需要研究它们在年轻人中被采用的障碍。本文旨在探讨年轻人使用这些程序的障碍,以及克服这些障碍的方法。
对研究文献进行定性回顾。
这些程序使用的障碍包括难以吸引年轻人使用、认为程序的依从性低,以及临床医生对其价值、有效性和安全性的担忧。目前的证据表明,需要进一步的研究来了解为什么更多的年轻人不参与这些应用程序。然而,当适当的基准化时,依从率是合理的,并且这些应用程序可以在临床和教育环境中适当地实施。
进一步的有针对性的研究将需要优化这些应用程序的实施方法。
