Refining a digital phenotyping app for measurement of suicidal behavior among minoritized youth and caregivers in a community health system
Youth and caregiver feedback confirms openness by participating youth to using mHealth tools for measurement of STBs, but caregivers experience hesitation with the direct questions of such tools. Feedback was useful in refining the mobile tool and suggests multimodal assessment (text and emoji prompts) may appeal to users. Results from this study may improve the acceptability of future apps designed to measure and address disparities among particularly vulnerable groups of youth.
