PURPOSE: To assess, from the young adults' (YAs') perspectives, the critical parameters (necessity, acceptability, feasibility, fidelity, and safety) of an avatar-based intervention, eSMART-MH, to reduce depressive symptoms. DESIGN AND METHODS: YAs (n = 60) were randomly assigned to eSMART-MH or control and observed for 12 weeks. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected. FINDINGS: Necessity, acceptability, fidelity, and safety of eSMART-MH were supported. Feasibility results were mixed. When benchmarked against usual care, eSMART-MH demonstrated greater feasibility. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: eSMART-MH is a promising digital therapeutic for depressive symptoms. Feasibility can be strengthened through on the go access via mobile devices and Internet delivery.
