About us
ITLAS (Internet Treatments for Latin America and Spain) is a group of researchers from different universities in Latin America and Europe aiming to deliver science-based psychological treatments to the general population. We have a special focus on Latin American countries, where the availability of psychological care is scarce and often too expensive. Furthermore, evidence shows that online interventions can reach a wider population, even when mental health specialists are unavailable.
Our group aims to design, develop, implement, and evaluate a set of internet-supported interventions.
For us, it is also essential to increase the scientific knowledge of these interventions in Latin American countries. We want to improve adherence to these interventions, one of its main issues, by for example using user-centred design and User Experience (UX). When designing a tool, the end-user is at the center of our design and involved at all the stages of its development.
Our interventions are focused, but not limited, to
Depression
Anxiety disorders
Health behavior modification (increase physical activity, healthier eating)
Psycho-onchology
Transdiagnostic treatments
Increase quality of life
