Predictors of Perceived Need for and Prescribing of Digital Health Applications for Mental Disorders Among Psychotherapists in Germany: Cross-Sectional Survey Study
Professional group, psychotherapy approach, age, the size of service mandate, treatment focus, practice type, and community size predicted perceived need for and prescribing of DHA-MDs among psychotherapists. Our findings may inform stakeholders and decision-makers in health care and politics about where DHA-MDs have already been implemented in the landscape of mental health services.
