Much is written about Internet access, Web access, Web site accessibility, and access to online health information. The term access has, however, a variety of meanings to authors in different contexts when applied to the Internet, the Web, and interactive health communication. We have summarized those varied uses and definitions and consolidated them into a framework that defines Internet and Web access issues for health researchers. We group issues into two categories: connectivity and human interface. Our focus is to conceptualize access as a multicomponent issue that can either reduce or enhance the public health utility of electronic communications.
关于互联网接入、网络接入、网站可访问性以及在线健康信息获取的论述颇多。然而，当“接入”一词应用于互联网、网络及交互式健康通信时，在不同语境下对作者而言有着多种含义。我们总结了这些不同的用法和定义，并将其整合为一个框架，该框架为健康研究人员界定了互联网和网络接入问题。我们将问题分为两类：连接性和人机界面。我们的重点是将接入概念化为一个多因素问题，它既可能降低也可能增强电子通信的公共卫生效用。
