Trial-based economic evaluation of the BrainACT study: acceptance and commitment therapy for anxiety and/or depressive symptoms after acquired brain injury.

Introduction: Following acquired brain injury (ABI), individuals often experience anxiety and/or depressive symptoms. BrainACT is an adapted form of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tailored to this target group. The current study is a trial-based health-economic evaluation comparing BrainACT to a psychoeducation and relaxation control treatment.

The effectiveness and health-economic evaluation of "Partner in Balance," a blended self-management program for early-stage dementia caregivers: study protocol for a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Informal caregivers of people with dementia are crucial in dementia care. However, they are insufficiently supported and report caregiver burdens, which urges the need for cost-effective interventions aimed at supporting caregivers. This paper presents the design of a study evaluating the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and cost-utility of a blended self-management program for early-stage dementia caregivers.
