Abstract
AbstractDepressive disorders are the most prevalent mental health disorder in adolescents with detrimental consequences; effective and available treatment is crucial. Face-to-face and computerized treatments both have advantages but also downsides. Merging these two into one so-called blended treatment seems to be an optimal combination of elements. This current review addresses blended treatment for youth depression and aims to summarize existing knowledge on effectiveness as well as patients’ and therapists’ perspectives. Results showed promising significant decreases in symptoms, but no evidence for differences between blended and face-to-face treatment was found. Patients’ perspectives were mixed; they reported strong preferences for face-to-face treatment, but participants actually receiving blended treatment were mainly positive. Therapists’ attitudes were neutral, but they expressed their worries about the unknown risks on adverse events. Future research is needed and should, beside effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, pay close attention to the risks that are mentioned by therapists.
