Description:

Abstract: The efficacy of web-based and mobile phone-based interventions for depression and anxiety has been well-established, yet these programs have not yet reached their full potential in real-world care settings. In this presentation, both the design of technology-enabled mental health services, and considerations for successful dissemination and implementation will be discussed. There will be a focus on current and future work with specific subpopulations, including university students and patients working with care managers to manage multiple conditions.
