dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Despite it being a scarcely researched topic, it is evident that behavioural addictions are associated with high rates of comorbidities and social problems. Online interventions offer a number of potential benefits for the treatment of behavioural addictions including easy access, anonymity, and low cost. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of online interventions for behavioural addictions. Method: Systematic searches were conducted on three electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, PsychInfo). Studies were included if the online intervention was the main intervention component, and if they reported quantitative data on the effectiveness of the interventions. The study quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies. Results: A total of 23 studies were included in this review. 13 of the studies found the interventions to be effective, which was illustrated by significant reductions in behaviour-related problems as result of the intervention. Overall, acceptability and satisfaction were high, however engagement was low. Conclusions: Online interventions for behavioural addictions are somewhat effective in reducing behaviour-related problems. Results highlight the paucity of well-designed studies and the need of primary prevention. Moreover, further research on behavioural addictions is needed to establish clear diagnostic criteria, to avoid over-pathologizing daily lifestyle choices.de_CH
