“…Previous studies have shown that adolescents, in particular, are known to use the Internet in order to find AEHI on a variety of conditions;28–30 however, the quality of the online experience is often limited by their health and online literacy skills 11. CD-ROMs are also known to be a viable mean to disseminate adolescent health education programmes 31. Therefore, further studies are needed to establish the best way of delivering reliable and understandable AEHI to young people while taking their literacy, cultural and ethnic influence into account as well as their computer skills and knowledge.…”

“…Emerging data support the promise of web-based substance use prevention for adolescents (Di Noia, Schwinn, Dastur, & Schinke, 2003; Duncan, Duncan, Beauchamp, Wells, & Ary, 2000; Gordon, 2000; Moore, Soderquist, & Werch, 2005; Newton, Teesson, Vogl, & Andrews, 2010; Newton, Vogl, Teesson, & Andrews, 2011; Schinke & Schwinn, 2005; Schwinn, Schinke, & Di Noia, 2010; Segal, Chen, Gordon, Kacir, & Gylys, 2003; Williams et al, 2005) and their parents (Gordon, 2000; Kacir, Gordon, & Kirby, 1999; Schinke, Schwinn, & Fang, 2010; Segal et al, 2003). The Internet enables users to overcome geographical limitations, enjoy flexible access to information, and have control over navigating program materials.…”

Asian Americans have been largely ignored in the prevention outcome literature. In this study, we tested a parent-child program with a sample of Asian American adolescent girls and their mothers, and evaluated the program’s efficacy on decreasing girls’ substance use, and modifying risk and protective factors at individual, family, and peer levels. One hundred and eight Asian American mother-daughter dyads recruited through online advertisements and from community service agencies were randomly assigned to an intervention arm (n = 56) or to a test-only control arm (n = 52). The intervention consisted of a nine-session substance abuse prevention program, delivered entirely online. Guided by family interaction theory, the prevention program aimed to strengthen the quality of girls’ relationships with their mothers while increasing girls’ resilience to resist substance use. Intent-to-treat analyses showed that at 2-year follow-up, intervention-arm dyads had significantly higher levels of mother-daughter closeness, mother-daughter communication, maternal monitoring, and family rules against substance use compared to the control-arm dyads. Intervention-arm girls also showed sustained improvement in self-efficacy and refusal skills, and had lower intentions to use substances in the future. Most important, intervention-arm girls reported fewer instances of alcohol and marijuana use, and prescription drug misuse relative to the control-arm girls. The study suggests that a culturally generic, family-based prevention program was efficacious in enhancing parent-child relationships, improving girls’ resiliency, and preventing substance use behaviors among Asian American girls.

“…Thus far, positive outcomes have been reported in RCTs of Internet interventions across a wide range of clinical outcomes, including asthma management (20,30,59,74,111), caregiving stress (84,85), breast cancer coping (104,157), chronic pain (13,14,15,45,54), congestive heart failure symptom monitoring (4,64,117), diabetes self management (5, 8, 11, 21, 50, 65-68, 75, 89-91), problem drinking (77,86,148), falls prevention (160), headache management (31,125,132), multiple risk behavior change (76), cardiac rehabilitation (126), HIV prevention (12,63,141), medical decision making (7,16,72), cognitive stimulation in Alzheimer's (136) (32,151), tinnitus distress (3), and weight loss (44, 56, 58, 92, 118, 121, 137-139, 152, 154, 155).…”

The Internet increasingly serves as a platform for the delivery of public health interventions. The efficacy of Internet interventions has been demonstrated across a wide range of conditions. Much more work remains, however, to enhance the potential for broad population dissemination of Internet interventions. In this article, we examine the effectiveness of Internet interventions, with particular attention to their dissemination potential. We discuss several considerations (characterizing reach rates, minimizing attrition, promoting Web site utilization, use of tailored messaging and social networking) that may improve the implementation of Internet interventions and their associated outcomes. We review factors that may influence the adoption of Internet interventions in a range of potential dissemination settings. Finally, we present several recommendations for future research that highlight the potential importance of better understanding intervention reach, developing consensus regarding Web site usage metrics, and more broadly integrating Web 2.0 functionality.

Abstract: CD-ROM and the Internet are viable means for disseminating adolescent drug abuse prevention programs to schools, community agencies, and policy-making bodies, and should be increasingly used for dissemination purposes.
