背景资料：尽管有广泛的证据表明，互联网干预措施在治疗心理健康问题方面是有效的，但互联网项目的使用并不理想。通过更好地了解社区对提供在线programmes.Objective的偏好，有可能使互联网干预更容易获得和接受。本研究旨在评估社区对心理健康问题互联网干预的组成部分、持续时间、频率、方式和设置的偏好。使用社交媒体广告招募了438名澳大利亚成年人的基于社区的在线样本，并对提供互联网干预的偏好进行了在线调查，沿着与规模评估潜在的相关性，这些preferences.Results：与会者报告的偏好简短的会议，虽然他们认识到交付的持续时间和频率之间的权衡。没有出现对交付方式的明确偏好，尽管明显多数人更喜欢量身定制的方案。参与者更喜欢通过计算机而不是移动终端访问程序。虽然大多数参与者报告说，他们会寻求心理健康问题的帮助，更多的参与者有一个面对面的资源比在线程序只偏好。年轻，女性，更受教育的参与者更有可能更喜欢互联网deliveration.Conclusions：成年人在社会上有一个偏好的互联网干预与短模块，适合个人需求。不愿意寻求面对面帮助的人也可能避免互联网干预，这表明更好地实施现有的互联网计划需要增加对互联网干预的接受程度，并确定可能拒绝寻求帮助的特定亚群。
Background: Despite extensive evidence that Internet interventions are effective in treating mental health problems, uptake of Internet programs is suboptimal. It may be possible to make Internet interventions more accessible and acceptable through better understanding of community preferences for delivery of online programs.Objective: This study aimed to assess community preferences for components, duration, frequency, modality, and setting of Internet interventions for mental health problems.Methods: A community-based online sample of 438 Australian adults was recruited using social media advertising and administered an online survey on preferences for delivery of Internet interventions, along with scales assessing potential correlates of these preferences.Results: Participants reported a preference for briefer sessions, although they recognized a trade-off between duration and frequency of delivery. No clear preference for the modality of delivery emerged, although a clear majority preferred tailored programs. Participants preferred to access programs through a computer rather than a mobile device. Although most participants reported that they would seek help for a mental health problem, more participants had a preference for face-to-face sources only than online programs only. Younger, female, and more educated participants were significantly more likely to prefer Internet delivery.Conclusions: Adults in the community have a preference for Internet interventions with short modules that are tailored to individual needs. Individuals who are reluctant to seek face-to-face help may also avoid Internet interventions, suggesting that better implementation of existing Internet programs requires increasing acceptance of Internet interventions and identifying specific subgroups who may be resistant to seeking help.
