Design Repeated‐measures design changes immediately after training; retention at 3 months; prospective cohort study document actual interventions applied post‐training situations. Method A total 239 users treatment completed pre‐training questionnaire administration were...

Cognitive bias modification (CBM) has evolved from an experimental method testing cognitive mechanisms of psychopathology to a promising tool for accessible digital mental health care. While we are still discovering the conditions under which clinically relevant effects occur, dire need accessible, effective, and low-cost tools underscores implementation where such available. Providing our expert opinion as Association Bias Modification members, first discuss readiness different CBM...

There are increasing concerns that digital interventions in healthcare settings could be better designed for scalable and sustained use. Implementation science is the scientific study of how to embed evidence-based practice. Calls integrate implementation Human-Centred Design methods have focused on integrating design within processes. By contrast, we present a novel approach health interventions.
