The main aim of this study is to understand healthcare professionals' perceptions, as well as the barriers and enablers (and unintended consequences), relevant to the uptake of the digital intervention and its future integration into existing NHS infrastructure. We will use a qualitative study design and utilise semi-structured interviews and focus groups to gather the views and opinions from up to 30 healthcare professionals who work with young people to provide mental health and / or sexual assault care across two sites: Greater Manchester, UK and Edinburgh, Scotland.

i-Minds Professional Stakeholders Qualitative Study

We will conduct semi-structured interviews and focus groups either by phone or online with up to 30 healthcare professionals who work within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, Sexual Assault Referral Centres or with an e-therapy provider. We will seek healthcare professionals' perspectives on the development of an online intervention designed to support young people who have experienced online sexual abuse (YP-OSA), including its advantages and disadvantages, how it compares with what services currently offer to YP-OSA, who it might benefit, what it should target, what will encourage or discourage YP to engage in the intervention, and how it could be scaled up and integrated sustainably within existing services. Data will be used to support the design of an online intervention for YP-OSA and the development of study information material and standard operating procedures of the subsequent feasibility study aimed at testing the intervention with YP-OSA.
