Participant Perceptions of Facilitators and Barriers to Adherence in a Digital Mental Health Intervention for a Nonclinical Cohort: Content Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital mental health promotion interventions (MHPIs) present a scalable opportunity to attenuate the risk of mental health distress among nonclinical cohorts. However, adherence is frequently suboptimal, and little is known about participants' perspectives concerning facilitators and barriers to adherence in community-based settings.

Objective

This study aimed to examine participants' perceptions of facilitators and barriers to adherence in a web- and mobile app-based MHPI for a nonclinical cohort.

Methods

This qualitative study used inductive, reflexive thematic analysis to explore free-text responses in a postintervention evaluation of a 10-week digital MHPI. The intervention was administered using a web and mobile app from September to December 2018. Pa
