Summary
This study tested two team-based care models for 657 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who also had mild to severe behavioral health symptoms. One model used in-person visits with a team including a gastroenterologist, nurse, nutritionist, and mental health specialist. The other used telemedicine and digital tools instead of in-person care. The goal was to see if these approaches could reduce IBD and behavioral health symptoms and improve quality of life.
