Dataset for 'Can we connect with young adults? A qualitative exploration into young adults' mental health help-seeking, and perceptions of digital Single Session Interventions'
The dataset contains anonymised interview transcripts from N=22 young adults. The aims of the research were to: 1) understand where young adults look for mental health support, and 2) hear how young adults perceive a digital single session mental health intervention and a website designed to host it on. Interviews contained four sections: first participants were asked where they look for mental health and support; second they were shown a website hosting mental health support for young people (unlockwellbeing.org.uk) and asked what they thought about it; third they were asked what they thought about the concept of single session mental health interventions; and fourth they were shown screenshots of a single session intervention and asked what they thought of it.

Data collection method:
Qualitative semi structured interviews with a 'think aloud' component were conducted. We spoke with N=22 young adults recruited through adverts placed around the University of Bath, local and national charities. Data were analysed using the Framework Method.
Data processing and preparation activities:
Data were anonymised by: 1) anonymising participant names by replacing with a pseudonym - this was decided in advance of the interview by the participant 2) removing any direct identifiers (e.g. postcode, phone number) 2) removing indirect identifiers, such as geographic location
