A growing line of research has highlighted the promising role that interactive web and mobile technologies may play in improving the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and reach of efforts to assess, prevent, treat, and support the recovery management of substance use disorders and other risk behavior. Manuscripts in this special issue of the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment focus on the application of technology to the delivery of interventions for the treatment and recovery management of substance use disorders. These manuscripts are intended to highlight the diversity and current state of the science of empirically-supported innovations in this area of intervention delivery. The included manuscripts range from experimental evaluations of a variety of types of technology-based interventions (brief interventions, behavior therapy, medication adherence tools, and HIV prevention interventions) and technology platforms (mobile, Web, videoconferencing, and telephone-based interactive voice response), for an array of populations (adults, adolescents, criminal justice populations, and post-partum women), in a number of different settings (addiction specialty treatment programs, schools, emergency rooms, and criminal justice settings). They additionally reflect a variety of experimental research designs, including those focused on the design, development, and clinical evaluation of these technology-based therapeutic tools, as well as research focused on models for their successful implementation and sustained use.
越来越多的研究强调了交互式网络和移动技术在提高评估、预防、治疗和支持物质使用障碍和其他风险行为的管理恢复的效果、成本效益和覆盖面方面的有希望的作用。本杂志特刊中的这些论文侧重于将技术应用于治疗和管理物质使用障碍的干预措施的提供。这些论文旨在突出该干预提供领域中经过实证支持的创新科学的多样性和现状。所包括的论文涵盖了各种类型的基于技术的干预措施（简短干预、行为疗法、药物依从性工具和 HIV 预防干预措施）和技术平台（移动、Web、视频会议和基于电话的交互式语音响应）的实验评估，以及针对各种人群（成年人、青少年、刑事司法人群和产后妇女）的研究，涉及许多不同的环境（成瘾专科治疗计划、学校、急诊室和刑事司法环境）。它们还反映了各种实验研究设计，包括专注于这些基于技术的治疗工具的设计、开发和临床评估的研究，以及专注于成功实施和持续使用这些工具的模型的研究。
