Stakeholder Views on Digital Mental Health Interventions for Self-Harm

Qualitative data from 28 participants (12 young people with lived experience of self-harm and 16 clinicians) on the acceptability of a novel digital mental health intervention based on Solution-Focused Therapy. It captures stakeholder perceptions, engagement barriers, and recommended content features. The data is stored in an XLS file sized 5.5 KB.

Use Cases

• Analyze stakeholder perceptions of Solution-Focused Therapy versus Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for digital interventions.
• Identify engagement barriers such as concerns about chatbot functionality and confidentiality assurances from interview transcripts.
• Extract recommended content features like personalization and clear structure from focus group and interview data.
• Compare the views of young people with lived experience of self-harm and clinicians on intervention design.

Strengths

• Data sourced from 28 total participants, including two distinct stakeholder groups (young people and clinicians).
• Analysis employs both content and framework methodologies to capture direct feedback and overall perceptions.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC BY 4.0, facilitating reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and depth of raw qualitative data.
• Sample size of 28 participants may not represent broader populations of young people who self-harm or clinicians.
• Data is specific to the context of Solution-Focused Therapy and self-harm, limiting generalizability to other mental health areas.
