This paper focuses on the Internet as a tool for enhancing behavior and lifestyle changes to reduce the burden of cancer at a population level. The premise of this paper is that the Internet can and should be leveraged to bridge the chasm between basic science, clinical trials, and public health. Our focus is specifically on the opportunity to disseminate effective behavioral science interventions via the Internet in order to decrease the prevalence of behavioral risk factors for cancer. The examples herein are primarily drawn from tobacco use to illustrate issues that can be applied more generally to other behavioral risk factors for cancer. Four areas will be addressed: (1) the scientific basis and rationale for delivering lifestyle behavior change interventions via the Internet; (2) the need to determine the quality of Internet interventions; (3) methodological considerations in conducting evaluations of Internet interventions; and (4) recommendations for a transdisciplinary approach to Internet intervention development and evaluation.
本文聚焦于将互联网作为一种工具,以促进行为和生活方式的改变,从而在人群层面减轻癌症负担。本文的前提是,互联网能够且应该被用于弥合基础科学、临床试验和公共卫生之间的差距。我们特别关注通过互联网传播有效的行为科学干预措施的机会,以降低癌症行为风险因素的流行率。本文中的例子主要取自烟草使用,以说明可更广泛应用于其他癌症行为风险因素的问题。将探讨四个领域:(1)通过互联网提供生活方式行为改变干预措施的科学依据和原理;(2)确定互联网干预措施质量的必要性;(3)对互联网干预措施进行评估时的方法学考量;以及(4)关于互联网干预措施开发和评估的跨学科方法的建议。
