ABSTRACTObjective Digital mental health services (DMHS) overcome many barriers to help-seeking. Yet, people’s use and uptake of treatment with DMHSs varies considerably. This study explored service user perspectives on deciding to take up online assessment and treatment for anxiety and/or depression within a large national DMHS.Method Participants were 20 adults who had self-referred or were referred by a GP to an Australia-wide DMHS for psychological assessment (group 1), plus follow-up discussion of treatment/other service options with a therapist (group 2), plus enrolment into internet-delivered treatment with optional therapist guidance (group 3). Participants took part in one-to-one semi-structured interviews, with parallel question guides tailored to their group status. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically using framework methods.Results Analyses yielded three interlinking themes. Theme 1 highlighted the “importance of the broader treatment context, and its interaction with DHMS”; Theme 2 drew attention to “how the internal service structure shapes decision-making”; Theme 3 focussed on “the scope and limitations of DMHS”.Conclusion Findings provide in-depth insights into service user decision-making around engagement with DMHS and can inform the development of interventions to support users to take up DMHS offerings that are best suited to their needs, preferences, and current circumstances.Key pointsWhat is already known about this topic: Digital mental health services (DMHSs) bypass many of the barriers to treatment-seeking DMHS users vary in how and the extent to which they engage with digital treatments. There is limited understanding of factors influencing user decisions to uptake and engage with DMHS.What this topic adds: Service user attitudes and experiences, the DMHS’s internal structure and service delivery model, and the broader treatment landscape including external health professionals, all appear to shape user decision-making.Identified themes align with constructs from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Framework, namely intervention characteristics; outer setting; inner setting;and characteristics of individuals.Consistent with models of shared decision-making, service users value the role of therapists in supporting active and informed decision-making around uptake and engagement with the DMHS.KEYWORDS: Digital mental health servicedecision-makingdepressionanxietyqualitative studyiCBT AcknowledgmentsThe authors wish to thank the participants for generously sharing their lived experience for this research.

Objective Suicide and self-harm have significant health, economic and social costs. Group-based interventions can be an effective and advantageous treatment approach; however, there is little evidence on the application of these groups in youth community mental health settings in Australia. Using the RE-AIM framework, we explore the feasibility and implementation of two group programmes in a youth-focussed community-based mental health service: dialectical behaviour therapy-adolescent (DBT-A) and cognitive behavioural Self and Strength (S&S).

Objective Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving (STEPPS) is a group therapy in which patients with personality disorder are taught emotion and behaviour regulation skills. Since older adults regulate their emotions differently than younger adults, age-specific aspects are suggested to be taken into account in the treatment. Objectives of this study were to determine expert consensus on the applicability of STEPPS for older adults and determine which adjustments should possibly be implemented for a better fit for older adults with personality disorder.

A clear understanding of the nature and extent of suicidal behaviour and other mental health issues in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations has been limited by the national failure to develop clinically and culturally valid assessments and to ensure the cultural competence of practitioners. The default position for Australian mental health researchers is to continue to adapt existing mainstream assessments. The problem with this approach is it doesn’t enable researchers to determine culture-specific symptoms or phenomena that are critical to establishing true cultural validity. The mental health field needs culturally co-designed psychometric tools to capture culture-specific expression and manifestation of symptoms, and to capture culture-specific symptoms. Two such tools exist: the WASC-Y and WASC-A. However, there are few data on their psychometric properties beyond the initial developmental research reported in the test manuals. This needs to be a focus for future research.

Objective Up to one third of adults who receive mental health services in Australia are parents. Psychologists in private practice are one of the largest groups within the Australian mental health workforce who support parents experiencing mental ill-health. Parents have specific support needs relating to their parenting role and “treatment as usual” may not address their integrated parenting and mental health concerns. The service experiences of parents in this setting have not been studied. This qualitative study addresses this knowledge gap through investigation of the experiences of Australian mothers who received support from a psychologist in private practice.
