‘Multi-stressed’: A qualitative study exploring the impact of the social determinants of health on access to digital mental health for youth and young adults in Alberta
The three themes indicate that the social determinants of health do not occur in isolation and may combine to produce multiple forms of disadvantage. Practical considerations and recommendations emphasise the need to address the social determinants of health to ensure that all youth benefit equitably from emerging digital solutions.
