Coifman and Gunstad (2024) raise cogent points about childhood and adolescence as a place to begin to help close the mental health treatment gap, note the potential of applications (apps) as a modality of intervention given the pervasiveness of smartphones, and highlight a large-scale intervention study to convey that treatments can be scaled in outcome research. I expand the range of interventions we might consider, pose a best-buy approach to decide how and where to begin to address the treatment gap, and underscore that mental health problems in children, adolescents, and adults are on the rise. We still have no evidence that we can close the treatment gap and that to do so will require a marriage of multiple disciplines, interventions, and agencies to effect change.

从哪里开始对治疗差距产生影响：回复 Coifman 和 Gunstad (2024)。


Coifman 和 Gunstad (2024) 提出了关于童年和青春期的令人信服的观点，将其作为帮助缩小心理健康治疗差距的起点，指出鉴于智能手机的普及，应用程序 (app) 作为干预方式的潜力，并强调了很大的影响。 -规模干预研究表明治疗可以在结果研究中规模化。我扩大了我们可能考虑的干预措施的范围，提出了一种最划算的方法来决定如何以及从哪里开始解决治疗差距，并强调儿童、青少年和成人的心理健康问题正在增加。我们仍然没有证据表明我们可以缩小治疗差距，而要做到这一点，需要结合多种学科、干预措施和机构来实现变革。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
