Area of Science:

  • Digital mental health
  • Global mental health
  • Adolescent psychology

Background:

  • Rising mental health issues in youth, especially in low-resource settings.
  • Limited access to traditional mental health care in developing countries.
  • Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) offer potential solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate the feasibility of two digital mental health tools: Youth Collective Minds (YMC) and Mental Beat (MB).
  • Targeted at young adults aged 18-25 in Bogotá, Colombia.
  • Assess acceptability, demand, implementation, and practicality.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-methods feasibility study with 35 participants over 3 weeks.
  • Qualitative data analyzed using thematic analysis with a deductive framework.
  • Quantitative analyses included univariate and bivariate statistics, sensor data, and GPS tracking.

Main Results:

  • Participants found YMC's psychoeducational content and MB's usability strengths.
  • Technical issues (server malfunctions, inadequate feedback) hindered engagement.
  • High willingness to reuse both platforms (83%).
  • Smartphone usage correlated with psychological distress; higher distress linked to increased battery charging.
  • Poor sleep quality associated with higher battery discharge.
  • GPS data indicated lower distress with more unique locations visited.
  • YMC: Emotion and stress surveys most used; telecounseling underutilized.
  • MB: Positive emotion and relationship surveys highly utilized.

Conclusions:

  • Digital tools are feasible and acceptable for youth mental health support in Colombia.
  • Platforms enhance self-awareness and management but require technical improvements.
  • Addressing technical issues, cybersecurity, and scaling are crucial for wider implementation.
  • These tools represent a significant step in bridging mental health care access gaps.
