Understanding factors related to treatment retention in an online mental health support service: Analysis of a service database
The factors found to be associated with treatment retention can be used to identify targeted strategies to enhance treatment retention. These findings support the role of early identification and prioritisation of at-risk clients at the time of booking, such as those with dependants, and those who had not undertaken previous therapy, as they may require increased flexibility and accessibility considerations for psychological support.
