Summary
Professionals prioritize cost and wait times for youth mental health services, while young people value individual therapy format. Integrating both perspectives is crucial for effective service design.
Area of Science:
- Mental Health Services Research
- Adolescent Psychology
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Previous research indicates young people prefer accessible, youth-focused mental health services.
- Key preferences include individual support, urban locations, short waits, and low costs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare preferences of mental health professionals with those of young people regarding youth mental health service attributes.
- To identify discrepancies and convergences in stakeholder priorities for service design.
Main Methods:
- A discrete choice experiment (DCE) involving 176 professionals and 258 young people (aged 16-24).
- Panel mixed logit (PML) models were employed to analyze attribute preferences within and across stakeholder groups.
Main Results:
- Professionals prioritized 'cost' and 'wait times', favoring affordability and speed.
- Young people prioritized 'format', preferring individual over group therapy.
- Professionals favored youth centers/cafes over homes and showed less preference for adult mental health professionals compared to youth.
Conclusions:
- Significant differences exist between professional and youth preferences for mental health service design.
- Integrating diverse stakeholder perspectives is essential for developing effective and youth-centered mental health services.
