Abstract
The current pandemic has remarkably increased the dependence on digital interfaces for mental health. This dependency calls for a strong need to check the efficacy of such digital platforms under various contexts. An evaluation study was conducted with participants in an online web-based suicide prevention intervention program named Happetite. The program was found to be not only accessible, but also provided appropriate interventions by processing the inputs from users.
期刊介绍:
Perspectives on Global Development and Technology (PGDT) is a peer-reviewed journal for the discussion of current social sciences research on diverse socio-economic development issues that reflect the opportunities and threats brought about by the world order shift from bipolar to global, the present economic liberalization that constricts development options, and the new enabling technologies of the Information Age. A founding principle of PGDT is that all people are entitled to scientific and technological knowledge to promote human development. PGDT is the international forum where the questions associated with this endeavour are thoroughly examinated and clearly communicated.
