N2 - Despite an exponentially growing number of digital or e-mental health services, methodological guidelines for research and practical implementation are scarce. Here we aim to promote the methodological quality, evidence and long-term implementation of technical innovations in the healthcare system. This expert consensus is based on an iterative Delphi adapted process and provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art guidelines and practical recommendations on the most relevant topics in e-mental health assessment and intervention. Covering three objectives, that is, development, study specifics and intervention evaluation, 11 topics were addressed and co-reviewed by 25 international experts and a think tank in the field of e-mental health. This expert consensus provides a comprehensive essence of scientific knowledge and practical recommendations for e-mental health researchers and clinicians. This way, we aim to enhance the promise of e-mental health: low-threshold access to mental health treatment worldwide.
