A systematic review of dialectical behavior therapy mobile apps for content and usability
Overview
This systematic review evaluates 21 free dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) mobile apps available on iOS and Android platforms, focusing on their content quality and usability. The study utilizes the Mobile App Rating Scale to assess engagement and finds that most apps are designed for independent use rather than clinician support. The resource is relevant for researchers or clinicians interested in the current landscape of DBT digital tools and their measured acceptability.
