Need assessment study about anxiety and depression treatment using new tech
Good morning everyone,
I am creating this post because I am currently conducting a study as part of my psychology thesis which is about the use of new technologies for the prevention and care of anxiety and depression. The theoretical framework is the one from Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies (CBT).
In collaboration with a company specialized in the use of new technologies for health prevention and a French university, we plan to create a digital tool for this purposes.
In this perspective we are currently conducting a study to understand the needs and preferences of people regarding these approaches.
I would have liked to know if it would be possible for you to complete this questionnaire and possibly share it, because your opinion is essential in order to create an effective and useful tool.
The link to the questionnaire can be found below: https://goo.gl/forms/4Q8nlwbI2N3CDkGr2
We are also looking for people who may be interested in participating in user tests and effectiveness studies of the tool in the future. If you want to, you can contact me by private message or indicate it to me in the "comments" box of the questionnaire by leaving me your email address.
I thank you in advance for your participation and am available to answer any questions you may have.
Raphaël
Hi Raphaël!
Your questionnaire allows people to provide their e-mail addresses to you. 7 Cups does not permit this.
I found the questionnaire longer than I had hoped. Some parts are still in French, and there are some other errors.
A recent paper, Mental Health Messages in Prominent Mental Health Apps, concludes that mental health apps may tend to make people who are not ill think they need help, and they may tend to make people who are very ill think they don't need professional help:
Mental health apps may promote medicalization of normal mental states and imply individual responsibility for mental well-being. Within the health care clinician-patient relationship, such messages should be challenged, where appropriate, to prevent overdiagnosis and ensure supportive health care where needed.
I think it would have been interesting if your research could have followed up these findings.
