This article discusses ethical and quality issues involved in accessing and evaluating Internet-based information on alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATODs). After a brief overview of the World Wide Web and its potential for increasing knowledge in the fields of ATOD prevention, treatment, research, and policy, we discuss potential threats that may compromise the quality and utilization of Web-based ATOD information. Consumers and authors of Web-based materials must critically assess and evaluate that information; the Information Quality Tool developed by the Health Summit Working Group is suggested as an analytic framework useful in evaluating ATOD information. The article concludes with observations about future issues regarding dissemination of ATOD information on the Internet.
本文讨论了获取和评估基于互联网的酒精、烟草及其他毒品（ATODs）信息时涉及的伦理和质量问题。在简要概述万维网及其在ATOD预防、治疗、研究和政策领域增加知识的潜力之后，我们讨论了可能损害基于网络的ATOD信息质量和利用的潜在威胁。基于网络材料的消费者和作者必须批判性地评估和评价这些信息；建议将健康峰会工作组开发的信息质量工具作为评估ATOD信息有用的分析框架。本文最后对互联网上ATOD信息传播的未来问题进行了观察。
