Sumario: | These recommendations were developed by the CADTH Health Technology Expert Review Panel (HTERP) and aim to address the following decision problems: 1. Should internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) be used to treat individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? 2. If so, what factors and considerations should guide the implementation of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy in the treatment of individuals with PTSD? The recommendations were generated following HTERP deliberations based on evidence reviewed in a CADTH Health Technology Assessment (HTA) report. The HTA included a review of the clinical effectiveness and safety, cost-effectiveness, patients' and caregivers' perspectives and experiences, ethical issues, and implementation considerations related to the use of iCBT for the treatment of PTSD. The target population for these recommendations is individuals with PTSD. The target users of these recommendations are Canadian health care decision-makers, those in provincial and territorial ministries of health, and mental health researchers.
