Recently, Dr. Auyeung has developed a keen interest in understanding the users' perspective of digital and non-digital mental health for common mental disorders. He recognizes the significance of involving individuals in their own care, as it empowers them to develop the necessary skills and confidence to effectively manage their health conditions and make informed decisions. Moreover, the insights gained from the users' perspective also enable service providers and health policy makers to better understand how to provide services that genuinely align with the needs of society, marginalized groups, and each individual.
