Abstract

The objective of this study was to understand how youth search for mental health information online. Youth partners were engaged at the onset of the project and provided input throughout on the design, conduct and analysis. Individual, semi-structured interviews with Canadian youth with experience searching for mental health information online were conducted. Data collection and reflexive thematic analysis proceeded concurrently. Fourteen youth were interviewed. Four main themes related to how youth search online emerged: mind-set shapes the search process; external factors shape the search process; key attributes of helpful information; and cues affecting trustworthiness of online information. Findings can inform the development of youth-friendly online mental health information that is perceived as helpful and trustworthy by youth. Ensuring youth have access to quality online mental health information, accessible to how they search for it, is critical to the mental health and development of youth.

了解青少年如何在网上搜索心理健康信息：定性描述研究

这项研究的目的是了解青少年如何在网上搜索心理健康信息。青年合作伙伴在项目伊始就参与其中，并在整个设计、实施和分析过程中提供意见。研究人员对具有在线搜索心理健康信息经验的加拿大青年进行了个人半结构式访谈。数据收集和反思性主题分析同时进行。共采访了 14 名青年。与青少年如何在网上搜索有关的四个主题是：心态决定搜索过程；外部因素决定搜索过程；有用信息的关键属性；以及影响网上信息可信度的线索。研究结果可以为开发对青少年友好的在线心理健康信息提供参考，这些信息在青少年看来是有用的、值得信赖的。确保青少年能够获得高质量的在线心理健康信息，并能够根据自己的搜索方式获取这些信息，这对青少年的心理健康和发展至关重要。
