Course Description: There are over 10,000 mental health applications in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, counseling, mental health services, and self-care available. When the applications first came out, privacy was not a primary concern. Overtime scholars, practitioners, and users became more concerned about the privacy offered by mental health applications. We often conflate privacy with security. However, privacy and security have important differences and impactions. This course focuses on privacy language used in mobile mental health applications and why we need to understand and appreciate the differences between privacy and security.

 Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify the three phases of privacy language.
  2. Summarize and evaluate the differences and similarities between privacy and security.
  3. The ability to develop a plan to handle privacy concerns associated with mobile mental health applications.

Course Outline:

  • Read and understand An Analysis of Privacy Language in the Scholarly Literature on Mental Health Apps.
  • Review the Course Description and Learning Objectives.
  • Consider the privacy and security underpinnings of mobile mental health applications.   
  • Work through the post-test questions; keep in mind that answer selections should be derived from the respective article.
  • Return to the referenced article for any missed questions and/or to better understand the privacy and privacy language of mobile mental health applications.
