Unlocking mobile health adoption: A qualitative exploration of user experiences, barriers, and facilitators within integrated youth services in British Columbia, Canada
This study highlights the complexity of mHealth integration within an IYS network. Interest-holders emphasized addressing user motivations, privacy, and accessibility while advocating for co-design approaches to ensure mHealth meets diverse youth needs. Future research should focus on underrepresented groups to promote equity and improve mental health outcomes through sustainable mHealth solutions.
