Introduction
I just started a new position as Professor for E-Health at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Currently, my focus is on teaching in the field of E-health at the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences. My research interests and expertise are in the areas of internet- and mobile-based interventions, college student (mental) health care, cost-effectiveness analyses, panel data and RCTs. I will expand my research to outpatient care via digital interventions.

Zusammenfassung
Die Förderung der psychischen Gesundheit ist zentral für Lebensqualität, körperliches Wohlbefinden, akademische Leistungsfähigkeit und soziale Teilhabe von Studierenden. Evidenzbasierte Internet- und mobilbasierte Interventionen (IMI) können klassische psychosoziale Beratungsangebote ergänzen und eröffnen neue Wege der Versorgung. A...
Most university students with mental disorders remain untreated. Evaluating the acceptance of intervention targets in mental health treatment, promotion, and prevention, as well as mental health service delivery modes is crucial for reducing potential barriers, increasing healthcare utilization, and efficiently allocating resources in healthcare se...
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is widespread among university students and is associated with high costs for the society. While unguided internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) may have short-term effects in reducing SAD symptoms, evidence for their long-term efficacy and cost-effectiveness is still limited. The aim of this study is to exami...
Background:
Academic procrastination is widespread among college students. Procrastination is strongly negatively correlated with psychological well-being, thus early interventions are needed. Internet- and mobile-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) could provide a low-threshold treatment option. Human guidance seems to be a decisive mechani...
Background
Existing evidence suggests internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) improve depressive symptoms in college students effectively. However, there is far less knowledge about the potential mechanisms of change of mindfulness-based IMIs, which could contribute to optimizing target groups and interventions. Hence, within this secondary...
In view of the staggering disease and economic burden of mental disorders, internet and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) targeting mental disorders have often been touted to be cost-effective; however, available evidence is inconclusive and outdated. This review aimed to provide an overview of the cost-effectiveness of IMIs for mental disorders an...
Objectives
College is an exhilarating but stressful time often associated with mental distress. The StudiCare project offers Internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMI) for college student mental health promotion. Within this framework, we evaluated the IMI StudiCare Mindfulness , and examined potential moderators and mediators of effectiveness....
Stress and mental health problems are widespread among college students and can have negative effects on their wellbeing and their academic performance. The StudiCare project is part of the World Mental Health International College Student (WMH-ICS) initiative of the World Health organization (WHO). The initiative aims to collect worldwide data on...
Background:
Substance use disorders (SUDs) contribute significantly to global rates of morbidity and mortality. Internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) have been suggested as an adjunct to face-to-face health services. However, the evidence for the cost-effectiveness of IMIs for SUDs is scant.
Methods:
A comprehensive literature search i...
Background:
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is highly prevalent among university students, but the majority of affected students remain untreated. Internet- and mobile-based self-help interventions (IMIs) may be a promising strategy to address this unmet need. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of an unguided internet...
Background
Although mental disorders and suicidal thoughts‐behaviors (suicidal thoughts and behaviors) are common among university students, the majority of students with these problems remain untreated. It is unclear what the barriers are to these students seeking treatment.
Aims
The aim of this study is to examine the barriers to future help‐see...
Objective
This study aims at evaluating the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of a guided and unguided internet-based intervention for chronic pain patients (ACTonPain guided and ACTonPain unguided ) compared with a waitlist control group (CG) as well as the comparative cost-effectiveness of the guided and the unguided version.
Design
This is a...
Objectives
Internet‐ and mobile‐based interventions (IMIs) offer the opportunity to deliver mental health treatments on a large scale. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of an unguided IMI (StudiCare SAD) for university students with social anxiety disorder (SAD).
Methods
University students (N = 200) diagnosed with SAD were r...
Background
The majority of university students with mental health problems are untreated. Only a small empirical literature exists on strategies to increase mental health service use.
Aims
To investigate the effects and moderators of a brief acceptance‐facilitating intervention on intention to use mental health services among university students....
Background: Internet interventions have been proposed to improve the accessibility and use of evidence-based psychological treatments. However, little is known about attitudes toward such treatments, which can be an important barrier to their use.
Objective: This study aimed to (1) determine attitudes toward guided internet interventions, (2) asse...

Work-related stress is widespread among employees and associated with high costs for German society. Internet-based stress management interventions (iSMIs) are effective in reducing such stress. However, evidence for their cost-effectiveness is scant.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of a guided iSMI...

The majority of mental health disorders remain untreated. Many limitations of traditional psychological interventions such as limited availability of evidence-based interventions and clinicians could potentially be overcome by providing Internet- and mobile-based psychological interventions (IMIs). This paper is a report of the Taskforce E-Health o...
Objective This study aimed to estimate and evaluate the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit of a guided internet- and mobile-supported occupational stress-management intervention (iSMI) for employees from the employer's perspective alongside a randomized controlled trial. Methods A sample of 264 employees with elevated symptoms of perceived stress...
