Abstract	Theoretical background: Blended therapy combines the advantages of face-to-face treatment (F2F) with digital mental health interventions (DMHIs). If it is to be routinely offered in healthcare, it must be practicable from the therapist?s perspective. Cocreation with stakeholders has proven useful in strengthening the implementation of innovative treatment approaches. As part of a feasibility study on a blended DMHI, we therefore asked therapists about their experience with the intervention. Method: The therapists treated adolescents with depressive symptoms over 6 weeks in an outpatient setting. In addition to three F2F appointments, the patients used a newly developed therapy app on their smartphones. The therapists (n = 11) used a self-assessment questionnaire to register their satisfaction and experiences with DMHIs. They also took part in focus groups (n = 8) to discuss the positive aspects and challenges of integrating DMHIs into their workflow. We analyzed the results using suitable quantitative methods and evaluated the qualitative data using thematic analysis, as outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006). Results: Overall, the therapists showed a high level of satisfaction with DMHIs (M = 7.3 on a scale of 1 ? 10, SD = 1.1) and rated various aspects positively (e. g., uncomplicated implementation and practicability). Because most of the therapists experienced technical problems (8/11), these were also by far the most frequently mentioned negative aspect. In the focus groups, the therapists favored the blended care approach but emphasized that this form of therapy did not save time compared to the 2-week F2F appointments common in outpatient treatment. Discussion and conclusion: The therapists reported both positive and challenging experiences. They described the DMHI as a helpful intervention in the treatment of depressed adolescents that was relatively easy to implement. At the same time, they also expressed their need for more technical support. (ZPID).
