Abstract
Opinion statement Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) offer a modern solution to increase access to mental health services, by supporting existing services or providing new services to those who are not as accessible to traditional mental healthcare. DMHIs, however, often face challenges transitioning from research to practice. Implementation science aims to enhance and establish frameworks to help identify barriers and facilitators towards implementing DMHIs in different communities. We analyze the barriers and facilitators towards successful implementation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) domains and summarize the implementation strategies used to enhance the adoption, implementation, and sustainment of DMHIs. Finally, we address the ethical and safety principles that should be followed to protect the consumers/patients. With the growing amount of evidence supporting the effectiveness of DMHIs, this paper provides an overview of implementation considerations for DMHIs and its role in improving mental healthcare delivery. However, the role of DMHIs and their implementation need to be better defined in various settings. Implementation science and its frameworks can offer us a better understanding of determinants to better identify, create, and evaluate implementation strategies.
期刊介绍:
This journal focuses on the latest advances in the multifaceted treatment of psychiatric disorders. Designed for physicians and other mental health professionals, Current Treatment Options in Psychiatry offers expert reviews on the management of a range of mental health conditions, includingSchizophrenia and other psychotic disordersSubstance use disordersAnxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and related disordersMood disordersEating and other impulse control disordersPersonality disordersArticles cover a range of established and emerging treatment options across the lifespan, and their innovative, hands-on format makes them ideal for informing treatment decisions at the point of care.We accomplish this by appointing leaders in the field to serve as Section Editors in key areas. Section Editors, in turn, select the most pressing topics as well as experts to present the latest research, assess the efficacy of available treatment options, and discuss special considerations.Additionally, an international Editorial Board—representing a range of disciplines within psychiatry and psychology—ensures that the journal content includes current, emerging research and suggests articles of special interest to their country or region.
