Abstract in brief

  • This study explores what encourages or hinders community college students from using mental health apps, highlighting that stress, perceived need for help, past professional service use, and social influence promote app use, while privacy concerns decrease it.
  • The research involved surveying 500 community college students and used statistical modeling to identify factors related to mental health app usage, finding that stigma, age, and gender did not significantly impact use.
  • The findings aim to guide the creation of better digital mental health tools and outreach strategies to increase app adoption among community college students, addressing their specific needs and concerns.
