Currently-available digital technologies can address these mental health service delivery challenges: cost, limited human resources, failure of students to seek help, stigmatization of collegians seeking help, premature termination, inadequate process and outcome data to assess and improve treatment effectiveness, and lack of real-time data-based treatment selection.
