Cost-effectiveness and Implementation of a Transdiagnostic Internet-based Intervention for Emotional Disorders in Community Care.

Emotional disorders (ED) are one of the leading causes of disability. They are highly prevalent and have an impact on quality of life. Addressing them places an overload on the National Health System (NHS), generating waiting lists and limiting appropriate care. The need for cost-effective solutions has led to the consideration of the transdiagnostic approach and the use of digital solutions. Both perspectives have demonstrated efficacy in a large number of randomized clinical trials. As a result, investment in digital health interventions is on the rise to improve access to care in overburdened healthcare systems. However, their integration and implementation in health systems remains limited. Implementation Science emerges to facilitate the integration of interventions into clinical practice through specific strategies that overcome barriers and optimize their sustainability. The objective of this project is to examine the effectiveness, economic costs and feasibility of implementing an online psychological treatment program for emotional disorders in mental health services. The Mutua and UJI teams have already carried out the transfer of the online program. In order to facilitate the adoption and sustainability of this program and that it can be used by mental health professionals in daily practice, a hybrid design 1 study will be carried out in which not only the efficacy but also the possibility of adoption and the analysis of economic costs in comparison with the usual treatment will be evaluated.
