E-health offers great potential in the field of traumatic stress to deliver training, assessment, prevention, and treatment of adverse outcomes after trauma worldwide. In order to encourage research on E-health applications in the field of traumatic stress, this current special issue of the presents a series of papers divided into three emergent topics: I) development of digital interventions, II) the use of digital interventions to foster self-management and deliver therapy, and III) digital methods to improve prediction, assessment, and monitoring of post-trauma outcomes. These studies show acceptance of the tools by various end-user groups and improvements of current research and clinical practices, but also areas for improvement regarding the development process and making even better use of technological capabilities of E-Health. We propose three general themes to accelerate the quality of e-Health interventions and studies in this area in the coming years: optimizing user engagement and adherence, conducting more (innovative) research, and increasing implementation and dissemination activities. This issue appears in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is exactly at times like these that we need effective online interventions and we see an enormous increase in the use of e-Health. We hope this issue will contribute to help those affected and to serve the community worldwide.
电子健康在创伤应激领域具有巨大潜力，可在全球范围内提供创伤后不良后果的培训、评估、预防和治疗。为鼓励对创伤应激领域电子健康应用的研究，本期特刊发表了一系列论文，分为三个新兴主题：一、数字干预措施的开发；二、利用数字干预措施促进自我管理和提供治疗；三、改进创伤后结果预测、评估和监测的数字方法。这些研究表明各种终端用户群体接受了这些工具，当前的研究和临床实践也有所改进，但在开发过程以及更好地利用电子健康技术能力方面仍有改进空间。我们提出三个总体主题，以在未来几年提高该领域电子健康干预措施和研究的质量：优化用户参与度和依从性、开展更多（创新性）研究以及增加实施和传播活动。本期出现在新冠疫情期间。正是在这样的时期，我们需要有效的在线干预措施，并且看到电子健康的使用大幅增加。我们希望本期将有助于帮助那些受影响的人，并为全球社区服务。
