Abstract

AbstractUse of mental health applications (MHAs) is often proposed as way to expand access to mental health resources to address increased mental health needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Investigators partnered with two MHA companies to offer university students complimentary access to either a module-based, cognitive-behavioral intervention or a virtual, peer support network. Findings suggest that offering access to no-cost apps without active encouragement will not meaningfully broaden the reach of mental health resources to student populations.Keywords: College mental healthmental healthmobile mental healthpandemicstress Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation.

移动心理健康应用程序增加了获得大学心理健康支持的机会吗?2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的经验教训

摘要使用心理健康应用程序(MHAs)经常被提议作为扩大获得心理健康资源的一种方式，以应对COVID-19大流行导致的心理健康需求增加。研究人员与两家MHA公司合作，为大学生免费提供基于模块的认知行为干预或虚拟的同伴支持网络。研究结果表明，在没有积极鼓励的情况下提供免费应用程序的访问权限，并不能有意义地扩大学生群体获得心理健康资源的范围。关键词:大学生心理健康心理健康流动心理健康流行病压力披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。本研究得到了迈克尔和苏珊戴尔基金会的支持。
