This study aims to describe gender differences in preferences for mental health treatment options and specifically tries to identify participants who prefer AI-based therapy over traditional face-to-face therapy.\r\nMethod: A nationally representative sample of 2,108 participants (53% female) aged 18 to 74 years completed a CBCAs. Within the CBCA, participants evaluated twenty choice sets, each describing three treatment variants in terms of provider, content, costs, and waiting time.\r\nResults: Costs (relative importance [RI] = 55%) emerged as the most critical factor when choosing between treatment options, followed by provider (RI= 31%), content (RI = 10%), and waiting time (RI = 4%). Small yet statistically significant differences were observed between women and men. Women placed greater importance on the provider, while men placed greater importance on cost and waiting time. Age and previous experience with psychotherapy and with mental health apps were systematically related to individual preferences but did not alter gender effects. Only a minority (approximately 8%) of participants preferred AI-based treatment to traditional therapy.\r\nConclusions: Overall, affordable mental health treatments performed by human therapists are consistently favored by both men and women. AI-driven mental health apps should align with user preferences to address psychologist shortages. However, it is uncertain whether they alone can meet the rising demand, highlighting the need for alternative solutions.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.5281/zenodo.10528219","keyword":["gender preferences","discrete choice experiment","mental health treatment","artificial intelligence"],"publisher":"Hochschule Bielefeld","author":[{"id":"252878","first_name":"Inga","orcid":"0000-0002-3468-3423","last_name":"Jagemann","orcid_put_code_url":"https://api.orcid.org/v2.0/0000-0002-3468-3423/work/174201344","full_name":"Jagemann, Inga"},{"id":"245919","first_name":"Manuel","last_name":"Stegemann","full_name":"Stegemann, Manuel"},{"first_name":"Ruth","full_name":"von Brachel, Ruth","last_name":"von Brachel"},{"id":"234690","orcid":"0000-0003-2143-4564","first_name":"Gerrit","orcid_put_code_url":"https://api.orcid.org/v2.0/0000-0003-2143-4564/work/174201345","last_name":"Hirschfeld","full_name":"Hirschfeld, Gerrit"}]}
