Abstract

Computer-based psychological interventions have emerged as an efficacious and more accessible alternative to traditional face-to-face mental health services. In recent years, these programs have also begun to feature heavily in the literature and commentary on stepped-cared and sustainable approaches to mental health services globally (Hosie, Vogl, Hoddinott, Carden, & Comeau, 2014). Australia is among those countries leading the way in the research of computer-based therapies, yet even here, these innovative services remain underutilised in the community (Lawrence et al., 2015). We need to think critically around why this is and how we can improve uptake, to improve access to interventions for youth. Understanding consumer attitudes towards these programs is the first step. Literature in this area is developing, particularly among allied health professionals and adult populations, yet children and youth have gained little attention. Following this, the present dissertation sought to provide a detailed and critical look at potential consumer attitudes towards computer-based therapies for young people.
