| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a mobile phone intervention and conducted a randomized controlled trial with 17 young psychiatric outpatients with mental illnesses. The intervention involved promoting help-seeking behaviors by sending text messages, including information about social welfare services, for 3 months. After the intervention period, no significant differences were found in the proportion of help-seeking behaviors between the intervention and control groups. However, concerning the reason for not using social services, the proportion of participants who answered “I do not know how to use” in the intervention group was significantly lower compared to the control group. More than 70% of participants in the intervention group reported that the text messaging service was helpful and useful, and they wanted more messages and information.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究による携帯メールによる介入は、若者の精神科通院患者の援助希求行動を直接促進させる効果はなかったが、援助希求行動を阻害する要因を減少させたと考えられる。また、介入群においてはメールに対する満足度は高く、さらに「メールの情報を増やしてほしい」などの要望もあったことから、携帯メールによる介入は、さらなる改変を行う事により、若者の精神科通院患者の援助希求行動促進の効果につながる可能性が考えられた。
