手机移动应用程序（“app”）的使用在过去几年中急剧增加。许多人使用应用程序来解决心理健康问题。与来自特权背景的个人不同，来自受压迫背景的个人可能依赖应用程序而不是昂贵的心理健康治疗。迄今为止，评估心理健康应用程序有效性的研究还很少。本文重点讨论了三种方法，扎根理论可以通过这些方法促进应用程序的开发和对心理健康保健中代表性不足的人群的评估。建议推进移动应用程序技术，帮助临床医生提供有效的治疗，并帮助消费者实现积极的治疗结果。
Cell phone mobile application (“app”) use has risen dramatically within the past several years. Many individuals access apps to address mental health issues. Unlike individuals from privileged backgrounds, individuals from oppressed backgrounds may rely on apps rather than costly mental health treatment. To date, very little research has been published evaluating mental health apps’ effectiveness. This paper focuses on three methods through which grounded theory can facilitate app development and evaluation for people underrepresented in mental health care. Recommendations are made to advance mobile app technology that will help clinicians provide effective treatment, and consumers to realize positive treatment outcomes.
