Background
As the return to alcohol use in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) is common during treatment and recovery, it is important that abstinence motivation is maintained after such critical incidences. Our study aims to explore how individuals with AUD participating in an app-based intervention with telephone coaching after inpatient...
Introduction:
Limited research exists on intervention efficacy for comorbid subclinical anxiety and depressive disorders, despite their common co-occurrence. Internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) are promising to reach individuals facing subclinical symptoms.
Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a transdiagnostic and...
Background
It is uncertain whether app-based interventions add value to existing mental health care.
Objective
To examine the incremental effects of app-based interventions when used as adjunct to mental health interventions.
Methods
We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases on September 15th, 2023, for...
Zielsetzung: Die vorliegende Studie thematisiert potenzielle Schnittstellenprobleme, indem sie die Nutzung von An-schlussmaßnahmen (AN) bei Patient_innen nach stationärem Alkoholentzug ohne Nahtlosverfahren untersuchte. Methodik: Analysiert wurde die Kontrollgruppe des SmartAssistEntz-Projekts. Dazu wurden 181 Personen drei und sechs Wochen sowie d...
Zusammenfassung. Konsumvariablen und Abstinenz scheinen unzureichend zur Erfassung der Genesung bei Personen mit einer Alkoholkonsumstörung. Stattdessen rücken patientenzentrierte Indikatoren wie die Lebensqualität zunehmend in den Vordergrund. Um den Forderungen adäquater Messinstrumente gerecht zu werden, wurde der Substance Use Recovery Evaluato...
BACKGROUND
Depression and anxiety are common mental health conditions in college/ university student populations. Offering transdiagnostic, web-based prevention programs, such as ICare Prevent, to those with subclinical complaints has the potential to reduce some barriers to receiving help, e.g., availability of services, privacy considerations, an...

There is evidence that craving mediates the relationship between Impulsive Personality Traits (IPTs) and relapse during the treatment of an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). To provide tailored interventions, a deeper understanding of the relation between IPTs and craving, namely mediating processes, is important. Based on previous literature, we propose...
Background
Alcohol use disorder, a prevalent and disabling mental health problem, is often characterized by a chronic disease course. While effective inpatient and aftercare treatment options exist, the transferal of treatment success into everyday life is challenging and many patients remain without further assistance. App-based interventions with...
Objectives
Impulsivity is related to a higher risk of relapse in alcohol use disorders. However, besides drinking behavior, other recovery outcomes like physical and mental health-related quality of life are at least as important. The present study aimed to fill a research gap regarding the association of different impulsivity facets with health-re...
Background
Online preventive interventions can help to reduce the incidence of mental disorders. Whereas knowledge on stakeholders’ attitudes and factors relevant for successfully integrating online treatment into existing healthcare systems is available, knowledge is scarce for online prevention.
Methods
Stakeholders from Germany, Switzerland, Au...
Background
Students beginning university are at a heightened risk for developing mental health disorders. Online prevention and early intervention programmes targeting mental health have the potential to reduce this risk, however, previous research has shown uptake to be rather poor. Understanding university stakeholders’ (e.g. governing level and...
Society is facing a global mental health crisis; most people will suffer from mental health problems either directly or by extension through family and friends. Although evidence-based psychological treatments exist, the majority of individuals in need remain untreated due to structural and attitudinal barriers. Digital mental health has great pote...
Background:
Internet interventions have been shown to be effective in treating anxiety disorders. Most interventions to date focus on single disorders and disregard potential comorbidities.
Objective:
The aim of this mixed-methods study was to investigate feasibility, user experience, and effects of a newly developed individually tailored transd...
Introduction:
Evidence on effects of Internet-based interventions to treat subthreshold depression (sD) and prevent the onset of major depression (MDD) is inconsistent.
Objective:
We conducted an individual participant data meta-analysis to determine differences between intervention and control groups (IG, CG) in depressive symptom severity (DSS...
While smartphone usage is ubiquitous, and the app market for smartphone apps targeted at mental health is growing rapidly, the evidence of standalone apps for treating mental health symptoms is still unclear. This meta-analysis investigated the efficacy of standalone smartphone apps for mental health. A comprehensive literature search was conducted...

Introduction:
Diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2 are linked to higher prevalence and occurrences of depression. Internet-based depression- and diabetes-specific cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) can be effective in reducing depressive symptom severity and diabetes-related emotional distress. The aim of the study was to test whether disease-spe...
1 Background
Major depressive disorder (MDD) in college students is associated with substantial burden.
2 Aims
To assess 1‐year incidence of MDD among incoming freshmen and predictors of MDD‐incidence in a representative sample of students.
3 Method
Prospective cohort study of first‐year college students (baseline: n = 2,519, 1‐year follow‐up: n...
Introduction: Depression is highly prevalent and often accompanied by comorbid anxiety disorder. Internet-based interventions have shown to be one effective treatment modality; however, comorbidities are often not targeted. Transdiagnostic tailored internet-and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) might be promising to overcome such issues.
Aim: This...
Background:
Although internet-based and mobile-based stress management interventions (iSMIs) may be a promising strategy to reach employees suffering from high chronic stress, it remains unknown whether participants with high symptom severity of depression or anxiety also benefit from iSMIs or should be excluded.
Objective:
This study aimed to e...
Background: Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent and often co-occur. Several studies indicate
the potential of disorder-specific psychological interventions for the prevention each of
these disorders. To treat comorbidity, transdiagnostic treatment concepts seem to be a
promising approach, however, evidence for transdiagnostic concepts of pr...
Background:
Depression and anxiety are common and co-morbid disorders that affect a significant proportion of students. Innovative prevention strategies targeting both conditions are needed to reduce their health burden and costs. ICare Prevent is such an innovative strategy and contains a transdiagnostic individually tailored Internet-based and m...
Background
Mental health problems are common and place a burden on the individual as well as on societal resources. Despite the existence of evidence-based treatments, access to treatment is often prevented or delayed due to insufficient health care resources. Effective internet-based self-help interventions have the potential to reduce the risk fo...
