The UTAUT model has proven to be a valuable instrument to predict the acceptance of e-mental health interventions in patients with obesity. The extended UTAUT model explained a significantly high percentage of variance in acceptance (in total 73.6%). On the basis of the strong association between acceptance and future use, new interventions should focus on these UTAUT predictors to promote the establishment of effective e-mental health interventions for patients with obesity who experience mental health burdens.
