Digital mental health (DMH) tools are a promising solution to the growing need for mental health care among teens because of their scalability and accessibility. Yet the key stakeholders-payors (who reimburse), caregivers (who facilitate adoption and access), and teens aged 13-17 (the primary users of these tools)-often have conflicting priorities. These misaligned priorities can limit investment in tools that align with user needs and promote long-term engagement, ultimately hindering the effective deployment of DMH tools for teens. This viewpoint paper outlines payor, caregiver, and teen priorities for DMH tools and proposes novel strategies to align these priorities. We argue that this alignment is critical for driving meaningful improvements in teen well-being.
数字心理健康(DMH)工具因其可扩展性和可及性,有望满足青少年对心理健康护理日益增长的需求。然而,关键利益相关者——付款方(负责报销)、护理人员(促进工具的采用和使用)以及13至17岁的青少年(这些工具的主要使用者)——的优先事项往往相互冲突。这些不一致的优先事项可能会限制对符合用户需求并促进长期使用的工具的投资,最终阻碍DMH工具在青少年中的有效应用。本观点论文概述了付款方、护理人员和青少年对DMH工具的优先事项,并提出了使这些优先事项保持一致的新策略。我们认为,这种一致性对于推动青少年幸福感的切实改善至关重要。
