“What I wanted to understand is what is the on-the-ground evidence, what is the everyday experience of clinicians who are using digital tools in their practice? And on the other side, what’s getting in the way of clinicians being able to effectively use these sorts of tools in their practice?”<br/><br/>In this episode of Digital Mental Health Musings we talk to Dr Farrer about what she has learned about how clinicians responded to the implementation of telehealth through the qualitative survey responses of more than 500 mental health practitioners. We talk about what those findings can reveal about the adoption and roll out of digital mental health more broadly and the types of clinician attitudes and perceptions that can lead to greater engagement and integration of digital mental health in the clinical setting to optimise its use in the community. <br/><br/>Dr Farrer also explains how clinician knowledge and attitudes around digital mental health can play a powerful role in who gets to access mental health. <br/><br/>Check out some of the resources we discussed in this episode:<br/>Moodgym: https://moodgym.com.au/<br/>eCouch: https://ecouch.com.au/<br/>Telehealth use by mental health professionals during COVID-19: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35360958/<br/>The Factors Associated with Telehealth Use and Avoidance During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Longitudinal Survey: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36649254/<br/>Read more of Dr Lou Farrer's publications here: https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/farrer-lm#publications<br/><br/>Contact Dr Farrer and register your interest in participating in her research by emailing  louse.farrer@anu.edu.au.
