Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This scoping review synthesizes qualitative data from 37 studies to identify how adolescents and young people perceive barriers and facilitators to engaging with digital mental health interventions for depression and anxiety. The authors report that factors such as accessibility, perceived usefulness, and social connection facilitate engagement, while stigma, privacy concerns, and technical difficulties hinder it. The resource highlights a gap in the evidence base regarding the quantified impact of these perceptions on adherence.
