For mental health professionals to provide personalized early interventions, young people need to disclose sensitive information to a clinician they are unli-kely to have yet formed a relationship with. We conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with 129 young people aged 12–25 years from several sites across Australia to gauge views on whether young people thought that an electronic psychosocial assessment tool could help them initially disclose personal information. Additionally, we were interested in whether young people from different demo-graphic groups held similar views around using the e-tool.
Results provided support for the use of an e-tool, with most young people stating that it could help in the disclosure of particularly embarrassing problems.
