This can widen disparities, as people with lower SEPs may lack resources and face digital or financial barriers, making tailored solutions necessary. This study evaluates professionals' perceptions of the Inclusive eHealth Guide (IeG) regarding its content. The aim was to ensure it meets the needs of professionals and the targeted lower SEP demographic, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of eHealth interventions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This mixed-method study used qualitative research through semi-structured interviews and the think-aloud method with 13 professionals involved in eight different eHealth lifestyle interventions using the eHealth guide. Quantitative feedback was obtained through a survey with evaluative multiple-choice questions. Participants evaluated the IeG at various stages. They identified positive aspects and points for improvement, and provided recommendations for the guide's content and structure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants valued the IeG's practicality and comprehensiveness, noting its usefulness in developing accessible eHealth solutions for populations with lower SEP.
