L’objectif
This study explored: (1) the experiences of care of regional and rural clients of an Australian national online text-based substance use counseling service, Counselling Online; (2) their reasons for accessing the service; and (3) their interaction with the counselor.
Constatations/points à retenir
Online substance use services provide useful support to regional and rural clients, however we identified several opportunities for improving the service experience for regional and rural clients. These include training online counselors on the unique experiences of regional and rural clients, adapting referrals to match client preferences, and encouraging counselors to ask about the physical location in which clients are using the service.
