基于互联网的心理健康资源往往存在参与度和保留率低的问题。需要对参与和自然减员有更多的了解，以实现这种资源的潜力。在这项研究中，45142人通过自动在线筛查器进行了抑郁症筛查，其中2539人参加了为期一年的每月重新筛查研究；他们收到了一封每月提醒他们重新筛查情绪的电子邮件。我们发现，即使采用最低限度的队列维护策略，三分之一的参与者完成了1次或更多的随访，22%的参与者完成了2次或更多的随访。此外，早期随访的完成对未来的完成具有很高的预测性。我们还发现，许多参与者的特征(例如，当前抑郁状态、以前寻求抑郁症治疗、教育水平)预测了单独或交互作用的随访率。
Internet-based mental health resources often suffer from low engagement and retention. An increased understanding of engagement and attrition is needed to realize the potential of such resources. In this study, 45,142 individuals were screened for depression by an automated online screener, with 2,539 enrolling in a year-long monthly rescreening study; they received a single monthly reminder email to rescreen their mood. We found that, even with such a minimal cohort maintenance strategy, a third of the participants completed 1 or more follow-ups, and 22% completed 2 or more follow-ups. Furthermore, completion of earlier follow-ups was highly predictive of future completions. We also found a number of participant characteristics (e.g., current depression status, previous depression treatment seeking, education level) predicted follow-up rates, singly or in interactions.
