The Effectiveness of a One-stop Electronic Clinic for Psychological Service (eClinic) in Hong Kong

With an increasing need for effective and accessible mental health services, telepsychology can be one promising solution to narrowing the gap between demand and supply. Our one-stop electronic clinic of psychological service (eClinic) aims to deliver evidence-based treatments to individuals with moderate to severe emotional disorders of various kinds in Hong Kong. This study examines the cost-effectiveness and cost-efficiency of a hybrid model of telepsychology, in which contact with therapists focuses on facilitating service users' self-learning based on our online interactive modules. Results will shed light on the benefits of telepsychology to promoting access to mental health services in Hong Kong.
