Abstract

This systematic review examines the cost-effectiveness of internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) for mental disorders. 36 economic evaluations from 32 studies (N=10,083) published before May 10, 2021 were included. Guided IMIs, particularly for depression and anxiety, showed potential cost-effectiveness. However, heterogeneity was high across studies due to varying costing methods, designs, and outcomes. More research is needed on unguided and preventive IMIs with active control conditions and longer time horizons.
