Existing practitioner studies suggest that young people are infrequently asked about online abuse and practitioners have a fragmented understanding of the problems experienced or how they might approach them. There are very few evidence-based interventions that guide clinical assessment or practice. Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) have the potential to be an effective option where children and young people's services are challenged, including accessibility and anonymity. The aim of this study was to explore mental health practitioners' views of how DHIs may play a role in supporting young people who have experienced OCSA, and the role they can play in healthcare delivery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>In-depth qualitative interviews and one focus group were conducted with 25 child mental health professionals across two sites (Manchester and Edinburgh). Data was analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three overarching themes and 9 sub-themes were identified: (1) feeling a little bit lost; (2) seeing potential problems; and (3) knowing what works. Practitioners expressed interest in a DHI to support this client group and saw it as a way of managing waiting lists and complementing existing therapies. They felt that many young people would see this as a preferred medium to in-person therapy, would be empowering, and offers new ways of learning how to stay safe online. However, there were concerns about how much time would be needed by staff to deliver a DHI, anxieties about safety issues in relation to content and data protection, some of which may be unique to this population of young people, and concerns about the absence of a therapeutic relationship with vulnerable children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings indicated that practitioners were uncertain about working with children subjected to OCSA but were receptive to the possibility of using a DHI to support their practice and to reduce waiting lists. Concerns were expressed about the time needed for staff training and support as well as concerns over patient safety and the lack of evidence about the effectiveness of an unsupported DHI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fdgth.2024.1325385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]],"date-time":"2024-03-20T04:47:26Z","timestamp":1710910046000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["What are practitioners' views of how digital health interventions may play a role in online child sexual abuse service delivery?"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Ethel","family":"Quayle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Schwannauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Filippo","family":"Varese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kim","family":"Cartwright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Will","family":"Hewins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cindy","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Newton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prathiba","family":"Chitsabesan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cathy","family":"Richards","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Bucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","volume-title":"Terminology Guidelines for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse","author":"Greiger","year":"2016"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1828","DOI":"10.1177\/1077801219875821","article-title":"Technology-facilitated domestic and sexual violence- A review","volume":"26","author":"Henry","year":"2020","journal-title":"Violence Against Women"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"428","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838020958057","article-title":"The prevalence of technology-facilitated sexual violence: a meta-analysis and systematic review","volume":"23","author":"Patel","year":"2022","journal-title":"Trauma Violence Abuse"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605211030018","article-title":"Young women\u2019s experiences with technology-facilitated sexual violence from male strangers","volume":"37","author":"Salerno-Ferraro","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Interpers Violence"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"104651","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2020.104651","article-title":"Technology assisted child sexual abuse: professionals\u2019 perceptions of risk and impact on children and young people","volume":"119","author":"Hamilton-Giachritsis","year":"2021","journal-title":"Child Abuse Negl"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"606218","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.606218","article-title":"\u201cAll of me is completely different\": experiences and consequences among victims of technology-assisted child sexual abuse","volume":"11","author":"Joleby","year":"2020","journal-title":"Front Psychol"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"409","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.15724","article-title":"Technology-facilitated sexual assault in children and adolescents; is there a cause for concern?
