Background: Digital treatment programs for irritable bowel syndrome offer multiple advantages as they enhance patient access to effective multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions while reducing individual symptom burden, in addition to alleviating strain on the healthcare systems. Despite the substantial benefits offered by digital treatment programs, exploring their implementation into routine care remain insufficient. This study aimed to systematically identify factors influencing the implementation of a digital treatment program for patients with irritable bowel syndrome as a routine intervention within a somatic secondary healthcare system.

Background: Although effective pharmacological treatment exists, many adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) prefer a nonpharmacological option for managing their symptoms.

However, if the intervention does not offer optimal functions, content, and layout, it could decrease adherence and engagement and potentially compromise the effectiveness of such interventions.

However, evidence on the cost-effectiveness of these interventions when delivered in outpatient clinics is lacking. The aim of this study was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of an Internet-based problem-solving guided self-help intervention in comparison with enhanced usual care for outpatients on a waiting list for face-to-face treatment for major depression.
