We asked about the utility of screening for eating disorders and potential implementation challenges. The tool was in development at the time the qualitative interviews were conducted so that feedback could be taken into consideration. Rapid qualitative analysis was used to identify themes. Three themes were identified. First, a gap was identified in eating disorder screening, with acknowledgement that there is not a uniform way to systemically screen patients. Second, most agreed that a brief tool such as the one we developed could be helpful in a large health care system, especially a tool with language that was mindful of stigma issues. Third, there was agreement that a screening tool would need to be part of a more extensive clinical pathway that included diagnosis and treatment within the larger health care system. While participants supported the need for an eating disorder screening tool, their perspectives varied on how such a tool would be implemented in a national health care system. Specific recommendations were made for ensuring that there was a clear clinical pathway from the tool to treatment referral to best serve veterans with eating disorders.

Meditation apps may provide an accessible route for reducing these symptoms. However, many users experience barriers to persisting in their use of these apps. Prior research has identified psychosocial and practical barriers and facilitators to the use of meditation apps, as well as barriers and facilitators related to the apps themselves. Yet few prior studies have drawn on frameworks from the highly relevant field of implementation science, such as the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. A lack of unifying implementation science frameworks has limited shared language to describe barriers and facilitators and has made it challenging to identify and account for multilevel factors impacting the implementation of meditation apps. As such, this study used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to explore the implementation of the Healthy Minds Program meditation app among users experiencing elevated depressive and/or anxiety symptoms. Participants (<i>n</i> = 20) were drawn from a meditation dosage clinical trial and interviewed about their experiences establishing a meditation practice using the Healthy Minds Program app. Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and deductive qualitative content analysis, four categories were generated: practical facilitators to developing a meditation practice, motivations for developing and maintaining a meditation practice, barriers to developing a meditation practice, and recommendations for improving the app. Overall, participants reported positive outcomes from their practice, which, for some, motivated their continued use of the Healthy Minds Program app. Future research should consider how barriers and facilitators may change over time with increased engagement and experience with meditation apps and practice.

Understanding mental health service utilization patterns and barriers among diverse health care staff is essential for developing culturally responsive interventions. An anonymous cross-sectional survey was distributed to health care staff at a large urban hospital (September to October 2022). The survey assessed demographics, occupational stressors, mental health symptoms, service utilization, and perceived barriers to care. Descriptive and bivariate analyses examined differences by race/ethnicity, and multinomial logistic regression identified correlates of perceived need and service utilization. Of 4,998 invited staff, survey responses were available for 1,119 (22.4%) participants, and 811 were included in regression analyses. Participants identified as White (28.2%), Asian (24.2%), Hispanic (24.8%), and Black (22.8%); most were women (84%) and ages 20-39 (52.3%). Asian, Black, and Hispanic staff were more likely to report no perceived need for mental health services compared with White staff. Service utilization was highest among White participants (26.4%) and lowest among Asian participants (14.9%). Across all racial and ethnic groups, the most frequently endorsed barriers were related to behavioral intention to seek services, knowledge, and inconvenient timing. Racial and ethnic minority health care staff reported lower mental health service utilization despite similar workplace stressors. The lower perceived need among minority staff suggests that access-focused interventions alone may be insufficient. Efforts to improve equity should address both access barriers and factors influencing perceived need.

Early engagement with the app predicted number of sessions of Brief CBT-CP completed, suggesting that early incorporation of the app may be beneficial for reducing attrition.
