Despite significant promise, the full impact of mental health technologies has yet to be realized. With overall mental health service utilization still below 50%, those with a disorder, racial/ethnic minority, low SES, and rural populations receive services at even lower rates. Mental health technologies have been designed and proposed to address the barriers exacerbating these disparities and low utilization. However, research on these tools, which to date has appropriately prioritized effectiveness, requires significant shifts to test the ways these tools may reduce disparities. This article reviews these tools and outlines a potential framework for research that can guide the translation of these technologies into data-driven dissemination and implementation strategies.

Using both group (nomothetic) and individual (idiographic) approaches to measuring clinical change may provide more information about the effectiveness of an intervention than either approach alone. The current study re-examined previously published data from two randomized clinical trials of omega-3 fatty acids and Individual-Family Psychoeducational Psychotherapy as treatment for mood disorders in youth, using modified Brinley plots, a method of illustrating individuals’ treatment response in the context of group information. Although the original nomothetic approach provided information about the average effect of treatment, modified Brinley plots gave more information about individual children's outcomes. Practicing clinicians in particular could use modified Brinley plots to track treatment trajectories and outcomes for specific clients and subsequently use these data to inform treatment planning.
