Improving Quality of Care With a Digital Behavioral Program in IBD Patient Centered Medical Home

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Anxiety, Irritable Bowel Disease

In brief

Anxiety disorders and depression are more prevalent in patients living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than in healthy controls. Approximately 40% of IBD patients have elevated anxiety. Given the robust effectiveness of cognitive behavioral approaches for anxiety disorders and the paucity or mixed findings of cognitive behavioral approaches for anxiety in IBD, an integrated behavioral approach and combining face to face and online cognitive behavioral modalities is recommended for IBD patients with anxiety.
