Objective: We aimed to develop a self-report measure of therapist acceptance of telepsychotherapy based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional survey design, 1265 therapists completed the UTAUT-T, as well as additional questions.
Results: Confirmatory analysis indicated that the original UTAUT model did not fit the therapist context well. Exploratory factor analysis specified a better-fitting five-factor model, which showed good internal validity fit (χ = 17,753.36, RMSEA = 0.063, TLI = 0.886, SRMSR = 0.04). The five UTAUT-T subscales showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.86) and together predicted the intention to use online therapy in the future (R = 0.42, F(5, 1259) = 181.9, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The 21-item UTAUT-T offers a promising self-report measure of therapist acceptance of telepsychotherapy and intention towards using it in the future. Future studies on the convergent and predictive validity of the UTAUT-T are warranted.

Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, United States.
Background: Technology-enhanced mental health platforms may serve as a pathway to accessible and scalable mental health care; specifically, those that leverage stepped care models have the potential to address many barriers to patient care, including low mental health literacy, mental health provider shortages, perceived acceptability of care, and equitable access to evidence-based treatment. Driving meaningful engagement in care through these platforms remains a challenge.
Objective: This study aimed to examine predictors of engagement in self-directed digital mental health services offered as part of an employer-based mental health benefit that uses a technology-enabled care platform.

However, tailored interventions among older women living with HIV and depression are lacking.
