However, DMHIs commonly do not fit into day-to-day activities people who engage them, resulting a research-to-practice gap for DMHI implementation. For settings, differences between digital traditional make alignment integration challenging....

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 Promoting representation of historically marginalized racial and ethnic populations in the eating disorders (EDs) field among professionals studied served has long been discussed, with limited progress. This may be due to a reinforcing feedback loop which individuals from dominant cultures conduct research deliver treatment, participate research, receive diagnoses treatment. insularity maintains underrepresentation: EDs are understudied, undetected, undertreated. An Early Career...

Objective: As eating disorders (EDs) often emerge during college, managing EDs would ideally integrate prevention and treatment. To achieve this goal, an efficient tool is needed that detects clinical symptoms level of risk. This study evaluated the performance a screen designed to identify individuals at risk for or with ED. Participants: Five hundred forty-nine college-age women. Methods: Participants completed diagnostic interview. Results: Using parsimonious thresholds ED diagnoses,...
The treatment gap between those who need and receive care for eating disorders is wide. Scaling a validated, online screener that makes individuals aware of the significance their symptoms/behaviors crucial first step increasing access to care. objective current study was determine reach disseminating an disorder in partnership with National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), as well examine probable diagnostic risk breakdown adult respondents. We also assessed receipt any...
Objective: To recognize gaps between students' expectations of college counseling centers and centers' current practices to identify strategies improve care from both clinicians students. Participants: As part an ongoing study on mobile technologies for stress management, we gathered data center students at two large Midwestern universities. Methods: Clinicians completed online questionnaires their interest in digital mental health tools. Students co-design workshops. In subsequent...
Abstract Objective The Internet‐based Healthy Body Image (HBI) Program, which uses online screening to identify individuals at low risk of, high or with an eating disorder (ED) and then directs users tailored, evidence‐based in‐person interventions address individuals' clinical status, was deployed 28 U.S. universities as part of a randomized controlled trial. purpose this study is report on: (a) reach HBI, (b) screen results, (c) differences across ED status groups. Method All students on...
The Internet-based Healthy Body Image (HBI) Program platform uses online screening to identify individuals at low risk for, high or with an eating disorder (ED) and then directs users tailored, evidence-based online/mobile interventions referral in-person care address individuals’ risk/clinical status. We examined findings from the first state-wide deployment of HBI over course 3 years in Missouri public universities, sponsored by Eating Disorders Council Mental Health Foundation. First,...
Background Digital health interventions (DHIs) are poised to reduce target symptoms in a scalable, affordable, and empirically supported way. DHIs that involve coaching or clinical support often collect text data from 2 sources: (1) open correspondence between users the trained practitioners supporting them through messaging system (2) recorded during intervention by users, such as diary entries. Natural language processing (NLP) offers methods for analyzing text, augmenting understanding of...
Mental health phone applications (apps) provide cost-effective, easily accessible support for college students, yet long-term engagement is often low. Digital overload, defined as information burden from technological devices, may contribute to disengagement mental apps. This study aimed explore the influence of digital overload and use preferences on app among with goal informing how notifications could be designed improve in apps this population. A semi-structured interview guide was...
Engagement is a multifaceted construct and likely mechanism by which digital interventions achieve clinical improvements. To date, research on mental health (DMHIs) has overwhelmingly defined engagement assessed its association with outcomes through the objective/behavioral metrics of use or interactions DMHI, such as number log-ins time spent using technology. However, also entails users' subjective experience. Research largely lacking that tests relationship between outcomes. The purpose...
Racial discrimination is a stressor for young Black women that leads to poor health outcomes, including maladaptive eating. This study presents findings on racial and eating behaviors (overeating, LOC eating) using ecological momentary assessment (EMA).Black emerging adult (N = 27) with overweight or obesity participated in 14-day EMA examining exposure discrimination, behaviors, identity. Frequencies chi-square tests were used characterize the type of experienced frequency overeating. Mixed...

Specifically, we discuss often-overlooked importance temporal context (when an intervention is delivered), alongside sociodemographic symptom type (for whom understanding optimizing treatment engagement effectiveness. We outline how...
