Abstract
Implementation of measurement-based care (MBC) by child-serving community mental health providers, particularly school-based providers, is low. To inform user-centered design of measurement feedback systems (MFSs) and MBC implementation more broadly, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 61 middle and high school students. Interviews explored student preferences for and perceived helpfulness of different assessment methods and use of MFS in counseling. Results indicate that student preference for digitally-administered assessment is equivocal, with preferences being influenced by student perceptions of the ease of use, impersonalization, and confidentiality. Students with exposure to the MFS found it helpful when used by their provider to share assessment feedback.
