Background. E-mental health is a growing research field and an increasing number of computerized cognitive behavior therapy (cCBT) interventions are available for numerous mental health issues. Such interventions are often claimed to have added benefits, or collateral outcomes, when compared with traditional delivery platforms. Our aim was to systematically review the evidence of the cost-effectiveness, geographic flexibility, time flexibility, waiting time for treatment, stigma, therapist time…

A Guided Internet-delivered intervention for adjustment disorders: A randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
Results suggest that brief self-help intervention with minimal therapist support is more effective than the mere passage of time in reducing the distress symptoms associated to the disorder and also can confer additional benefits.
Understanding the acceptability of e-mental health - attitudes and expectations towards computerised self-help treatments for mental health problems
TLDR
Individuals in this study expressed negative views about computerised self-help intervention and low likelihood of use in the future, suggesting policy makers need to improve the public perception of such interventions.
Efficacy of a Transdiagnostic Self-Help Internet Intervention for Reducing Depression, Anxiety, and Suicidal Ideation in Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial
TLDR
Self-guided transdiagnostic interventions can be beneficial when delivered directly to end users through the internet despite low adherence and small effect sizes, and the availability of such interventions is likely to fill a critical gap in the accessibility of mental health services for the community.

Overall, the results support the value of internet-based interventions that use guided self-help to tackle eating disorders, but further research is needed due to the heterogeneity of the studies.
Cost-effectiveness of therapist-delivered online cognitive–behavioural therapy for depression: randomised controlled trial
TLDR
Online CBT delivered by a therapist in real time is likely to be cost-effective compared with usual care if society is willing to pay at least £20 000 per QALY; it could be a useful alternative to face-to-face CBT.
Meta-review of the effectiveness of computerised CBT in treating depression

Methods to encourage the use of evidence-based treatments need further research to determine whether the assistance sought is evidence based and whether there are unintended effects.
A RCT of a Transdiagnostic Internet-Delivered Treatment for Three Anxiety Disorders: Examination of Support Roles and Disorder-Specific Outcomes

TLDR
An exploratory investigation of the parameters that influence the effectiveness and retention of users on open access websites and whether brief cognitive behaviour therapy was as effective as an extended version, whether add-on components of behaviour therapy or stress management contributed to positive outcomes, and whether longer programs were associated with greater attrition.
Cost-effectiveness of computerised cognitive-behavioural therapy for anxiety and depression in primary care: Randomised controlled trial
TLDR
Computer-delivered CBT has a high probability of being cost-effective, even if a modest value is placed on unit improvements in depression, and it revealed a highly competitive cost per quality-adjusted life year.
