What are the Challenges in Implementing CBT at a Population Level?
Despite its proven efficacy, there are challenges in implementing CBT at a population level:
Resource Allocation: Adequate funding and resources are required to train mental health professionals in CBT and to ensure its availability across different healthcare settings. Access: Geographic and socioeconomic barriers can limit access to CBT, particularly in low-resource settings. Stigma: Societal stigma surrounding mental health may deter individuals from seeking CBT. Adherence: Ensuring that individuals adhere to CBT protocols and complete the recommended course of treatment can be challenging.
