Power Up: Patient and public involvement in developing a shared decision-making app for mental health

“…Co-design of digital interventions with young people is a particular focus of research and in one example, co-design with young people resulted in a number of different digital tools for self-management in relation to strategies, medications, and other aspects of mental health care. 8 The findings from two central studies led by the researchers on shared decision-making were discussed with young people in an initial PPI focus group before commencement of the Power Up feasibility trial. These studies included an analysis of routinely collected data from child mental health services showing that child-and parent-reported experiences of shared decision-making were associated with higher levels of child-and parentreported improvement in psychosocial difficulties, 9 and a scoping review of approaches to support shared decisionmaking in child mental health.…”
