Weighing Costs and Benefits of Delay and the Acceptance of Two Decision Support Tools in Mental Health Care: Scoping Study Using Quantitative and Qualitative Data
MHP acceptance and uptake of novel AI tools in youth mental health services will be driven by a more complex cost-benefit analysis of both adopting and not adopting, rather than solely on their design. The costs of delay are clear, and so researchers and MHPs have a shared imperative to develop useful and meaningful clinical tools and to work jointly on integrating them into practice. Limitations of our sample (including low sample size limiting generalizability) notwithstanding, these findings should inform the future design and implementation of such tools.
