Telehealth Initiative to Enhance Primary Care Access in Brazil (UBS+Digital Project): Multicenter Prospective Study

Telehealth Initiative to Enhance Primary Care Access in Brazil (UBS+Digital Project): Multicenter Prospective Study

A study conducted in Australia [11] examined health care professionals’ experiences with the rapid upscaling of telehealth during the pandemic. The study found that telephone consultations were the predominant method of telehealth delivery, while video consultations were less frequently used. Although telehealth improved access to care for vulnerable populations and those in rural areas, it posed challenges for patients with language barriers and limited digital literacy.

Digital Intervention to Improve Health Services for Young People in Zimbabwe: Process Evaluation of ‘Zvatinoda!’ (What We Want) Using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) Framework

Digital Intervention to Improve Health Services for Young People in Zimbabwe: Process Evaluation of ‘Zvatinoda!’ (What We Want) Using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) Framework

The potential for digital health interventions in Zimbabwe has increased since 2020, as COVID-19 restrictions constrained in-person interventions and interactions, while young people’s health needs did not decrease. In 2018, phone ownership among 13-24-year-olds in Harare was 63%, with 11% of those without a phone reporting using a shared phone [16]. Phone ownership increased with age, reaching 72% among 18-19-year-olds and 85% among 20-24-year-olds [16].

Efficacy of a Digital Health Preventive Intervention for Adolescents With HIV or Sexually Transmitted Infections and Substance Use Disorder: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Efficacy of a Digital Health Preventive Intervention for Adolescents With HIV or Sexually Transmitted Infections and Substance Use Disorder: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

First, we developed S4 E through a community-university collaboration, integrating community-based participatory research principles [15] with the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s prevention guidelines [16]. This process transformed the effective S4 E program [17] into an m Health app [18-22]. S4 E is culturally congruent and was adapted in consultation with youths and clinicians from a targeted youth-centered community health clinic.

Investigating the Feasibility, Acceptability, and Appropriation of a Socially Assistive Robot Among Minority Youth at Risk of Self-Harm: Results of 2 Mixed Methods Pilot Studies

Investigating the Feasibility, Acceptability, and Appropriation of a Socially Assistive Robot Among Minority Youth at Risk of Self-Harm: Results of 2 Mixed Methods Pilot Studies

This study consisted of 2 independent pilot studies examining the impact of access to Purrble for two subgroups of minority youth at risk of self-harm: (1) LGBTQ+ youth and (2) racial and ethnic minority groups. These pilot studies followed the same mixed methods design using daily and weekly self-report surveys, with optional follow-up interviews, as shown in Figure 1.

Engaging Youth in the Bipolar Youth Action Project: Community-Based Participatory Research

Engaging Youth in the Bipolar Youth Action Project: Community-Based Participatory Research

In summary, we know that self-management strategies are critical for health and quality of life in people with bipolar disorder, but a gap exists in self-management research specifically addressing youth with the condition. A specific model for community-based participatory research in adults with bipolar disorder has been developed, but little is yet known about the application of this approach in youth.

Pilot Study of a Multilevel Mobile Health App for Substance Use, Sexual Risk Behaviors, and Testing for Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV Among Youth: Randomized Controlled Trial

Pilot Study of a Multilevel Mobile Health App for Substance Use, Sexual Risk Behaviors, and Testing for Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV Among Youth: Randomized Controlled Trial

Therefore, there remains an urgent need to identify settings and tools that may be leveraged to improve the uptake of STI/HIV testing among youth. Youth-centered community health clinics may be an ideal setting to engage youth in prevention services. Evidence supports that compared with adult-focused clinics and AIDS service organizations, youth are more likely to seek substance use and sexual risk prevention and risk reduction services from youth-centered community health clinics [18,19].

Digital Education in Health Professions: The Need for Overarching Evidence Synthesis

Digital Education in Health Professions: The Need for Overarching Evidence Synthesis

This perpetuating trend, partially driven by advances in science and technology and rising consumer demand is also seen in education for health professionals [3], where digital technologies are ubiquitous and diverse. In line with the growing adoption and innovations in digital health education, literature on the effectiveness of digital health educational interventions has seen a rapid growth over the last two decades [4,5].

Gathering Opinions on Depression Information Needs and Preferences: Samples and Opinions in Clinic Versus Web-Based Surveys

Gathering Opinions on Depression Information Needs and Preferences: Samples and Opinions in Clinic Versus Web-Based Surveys

Current information on the Web often focuses on a description of the health problem with a description of the treatment options with little evaluative information based on research evidence [13,14]. In a recent systematic review of the information and decision-making needs of people with mental disorders [15], only 12 studies were identified with 6 addressing depression. The results suggest that much more research is needed in this area.
