摘要

Authors' objectives: There are several recent systematic reviews on the effect of therapist-supported internet therapy for various diagnoses and the aim of this health technology assessment was to provide an overview of high quality systematic reviews summarizing the clinical effect of therapist-supported internet therapy for various mental disorders in children, adolescents and adults, as well as assessing certainty of effect estimates. In addition, we performed a health economic evaluation and described budgetary consequences of a therapist-supported internet program for mental disorders compared with conventional cognitive behavioural therapy in the Western Norway Regional Health Authority. The health technology assessment is prepared on behalf of the Commission Forum in the National System for Managed Introduction of New Health Technologies within the Specialist Health Service in Norway, i.e. New Methods (“Nye metoder”).
