Background User engagement is key to the effectiveness of digital mental health interventions. Considerable research has examined clinical outcomes overall with apps (eg, frequency and duration app use). However, few studies have how specific use behaviors can drive change in outcomes. Understanding more nuanced could inform design that are clinically effective users. Objective This study aimed classify user a suite examine different types related depression anxiety We also compare those...
Abstract Background This article provides a generalizable method, rooted in co-design and stakeholder engagement, to identify, specify, prioritize implementation strategies. To illustrate this we present case example focused on identifying strategies promote pediatric hypertension (pHTN) Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) community health center-based primary care practices that involved meaningful engagement of clinicians, clinic staff, patients/caregivers. was chosen based the difficulty...
In Illinois, the Opioid Alternative Pilot Program (OAPP) was launched to expand access medical cannabis use as a direct substitute for opioids. Although therapeutic benefits have been reported in reducing opioid use, there is an absence of literature that examines how impacts individual's quality life (QoL). This study association with QoL among first enrollees OAPP. A survey sent between February and July 2019. Cannabis users (n=626) were compared non-users (n=234) determine whether within...
Millions of Americans struggle with depression, a condition characterized by feelings sadness and motivation loss. To understand how individuals managing depression conceptualize their self-management activities, we conducted visual elicitations semi-structured interviews 30 participants in large city the U.S. Midwest. Many support tools are focused on individual user do not often incorporate social features. However, our analysis showed key importance sociality for depression. We describe...
Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) may overcome barriers to mental health care and has proven efficacious. However, this approach currently exists outside the existing delivery system. Stepped is a proposed framework for integrating digital (DMH) into systems by initiating iCBT "stepping up" more intensive intervention should prove ineffective. This study explores pre-treatment factors associated with reaching stepping criteria among patients receiving iCBT. exploratory...
Background Adolescence is a vulnerable developmental period, characterized by high rates of mental health concerns, yet few adolescents receive treatment. Public libraries support providing them with access to teen programming, technological resources, and have recently been services. Digital (DMH) services may help provide scalable solutions for their adolescent patrons could be well positioned address the needs historically underrepresented racial ethnic (HURE) adolescents; however, little...
Background Digital mental health tools have substantial potential to be easily integrated into people’s lives and fundamentally impact public health. Such can extend the reach maximize of interventions. Before implementing digital in new settings, it is critical understand what important organizations individuals who will implement use these tools. Given that young people are highly familiar with technology many concerns emerge childhood adolescence, especially crucial how settings serve...
As digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) proliferate, there is a growing need to understand the complexities of moving these tools from concept and design service-ready products. We highlight five case studies center that specializes in evaluation illustrate pragmatic approaches development interventions, make transparent some key decision points researchers encounter along design-to-product pipeline. Case cover different process focus on partnership building, understanding problem or...
Independent lines of evidence have linked posttraumatic stress symptomatology to both peritraumatic disgust (i.e., experienced during a traumatic event) and reactivity in response event cues among individuals exposed events. Much this work suggests disgust, defined as rejection/revulsion aimed at distancing oneself from potential source contamination, may be important understanding the nature reactions even after accounting for more frequently studied affective states fear anxiety. The...
ABSTRACT Cigarette smoking during adolescence is linked to a number of sleep disturbances and has been consistently onset latency among adults. However, little research examined factors that may influence the relation between cigarette level adolescents. One factor be particularly important in this regard anxiety sensitivity (AS). The current study whether interacted with AS its association 94 adolescent (Mage = 15.72) smokers. As hypothesized, relate latency, even after controlling for age...
Objective The state of Illinois' Opioid Alternative Pilot Program (OAPP) is the first and only official harm-reduction program in US to address opioid crisis via facilitation safe legal access medical cannabis.

Background: Given that marijuana use is often associated with detrimental physical and mental health problems, research examining motives for its critical effective remedial preventive treatment. To date, the majority of on has used variable-centered analyses, which overlooks potentially meaningful heterogeneous response patterns associations those other risk/protective factors. Methods: address this gap, in current study, we conducted a person-centered analysis (latent profile analysis) to...
Evidence suggests that smoking to cope among adolescents is associated with a number of problematic outcomes (e.g., greater frequency, higher rates dependence). It thus imperative better understand factors may increase the likelihood adolescents. Research anxiety sensitivity (AS) adults, although link between AS and coping motives for cigarette use youth less clear. Gender differences have also been noted in AS. The current study investigates this association using biological challenge...
