Overview

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

This exploratory cross-sectional survey examines Swedish psychologists' usage, knowledge, and attitudes toward digital mental health solutions for refugees and migrants. The study finds that while guided internet-based CBT and videoconferencing are accepted, actual usage is low and general knowledge of digital assessment and treatment for these populations remains limited. Respondents emphasize the importance of native language support and cultural adaptation, suggesting implementation through primary care units.
