Study about Teens Using Telehealth

A Study about Teens using Telehealth

Researchers at the University of Arizona want to learn more about teens’ experiences using telehealth for mental health care. This Research Study is Voluntary.

Taking the Screening Survey
A modern laptop computer open on a clean white desk, its screen displaying a softly blurred video call interface with colored rectangles suggesting multiple windows but no visible faces or text. Around the laptop, neatly stacked pastel notebooks, a closed pen case, and a small potted succulent sit in an organized arrangement. Diffused natural daylight from an unseen window washes the scene in gentle, cool tones, creating soft shadows and a calm, professional mood. Photographic realism with an eye-level composition and shallow depth of field keeps the laptop in crisp focus while the background fades into a smooth, unobtrusive blur, conveying a quiet, focused environment for teen telehealth sessions without depicting any people.
A minimalist home workspace featuring a tablet propped upright on a simple birch wood stand, its glass screen glowing softly with an abstracted video chat interface of muted blue and teal panels, free of identifiable text or faces. The tablet rests beside a pair of over-ear headphones and a spiral-bound journal on a pale gray fabric desktop mat. Soft afternoon light filters in from the left, creating subtle highlights on the tablet’s metal edges and a gentle gradient across the wall. The composition is shot from a slightly elevated angle in photographic realism, with balanced negative space and a serene, professional atmosphere that suggests privacy, comfort, and readiness for online mental health care.

What will we learn in this study?

In this study, researchers want to find out more about how teens (14-18 years old) build relationships with health care providers when using telehealth for outpatient mental health. Researchers also want to note how private you feel your appointment is and the type and severity of your symptoms to see if these factors influence into your relationship with your provider. Researchers also want to know who takes part in this study, such as your age and gender. 

You are the only person who knows about your experiences. We want to learn from you. You are the only person who can teach us about starting a new relationship with a provider using telehealth.
