[Efficiency-Focussed Assessment of Internet-Based Interventions: a Study Protocol].

Background: The availability of internet-based interventions for the treatment of mental disorder is steadily growing and is also included in the German health care system. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of the information available to users and practitioners, particularly with regard to the effectiveness of internet-based interventions.

Objectives: To identify and evaluate internet-based interventions for the treatment of mental disorder, listed in the DiGA-Verzeichnis. A user-friendly description of positively evaluated interventions will be made available for interested people at psychenet.de.

Methods: By means of predefined criteria for intervention identification, evaluation and subsequent publication on psychenet.de, a methodological sound and transparent procedure will be established and put into practice.

Ethics And Dissemination:  Ethics approval is not required for this study, as research on secondary data was conducted. Relevant professional, stakeholder and patient associations will be informed about the information offered at psychenet.de.
