Enthusiasm for technology in mental health has evolved as a function of its promise to increase the reach and impact of services, particularly for traditionally at-risk and underserved groups. Preliminary findings suggest that technology-enhanced interventions indeed hold promise for increasing engagement in and outcomes of evidence-based treatment approaches. The time- and resourceintensive nature of traditional randomized control trials, however, may be even more of a challenge for further advancement in this area, given the rapid innovation of consumer driven new product development. Accordingly, this review aims to summarize how a broader range of scientific designs and analyses may be necessary in order to further advance and optimize the reach and impact of technology-enhanced psychological practice. Examples of various approaches are provided and recommendations are provided for future work in this area.
对心理健康领域技术的热情随着其有望扩大服务范围和影响力而不断发展,尤其是对传统上处于风险中的弱势群体和服务不足的群体。初步研究结果表明,技术增强型干预措施确实有望提高基于证据的治疗方法的参与度和治疗效果。然而,鉴于消费者驱动的新产品开发迅速创新,传统随机对照试验耗时且资源密集的性质可能对该领域的进一步发展构成更大挑战。因此,本综述旨在总结为进一步推进和优化技术增强型心理实践的范围和影响,如何需要更广泛的科学设计和分析。文中提供了各种方法的示例,并为该领域的未来工作提出了建议。
